1<b>By David.</b> I lift my whole being to you, Yahweh.
2My God, I have put my trust in you. Don't let me be shamed. Don't let my enemies celebrate victory over me.
3Indeed, no one who waits for you will be shamed. But those who betray others without reason will be shamed.
4Yahweh, show me your ways. Teach me your paths.
5Guide me with your truth and teach me, because you are the God who saves me. I wait for you all day long.
6Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your faithful love, for they have always existed.
7Don't remember the sins of my youth, or my rebellions. Instead, remember me with your faithful love, because of your goodness, Yahweh.
8Yahweh is good and does what is right, so he teaches sinners how to live.
9He guides humble people to do right and teaches them his way.
10All of Yahweh's ways show love and truth to those who keep his agreement and his commands.
11Yahweh, because of your reputation, forgive my many sins.
12What kind of person respects Yahweh? He will teach that person the path they should choose.
13That person will live a good life, and their children will inherit the land.
14Yahweh shares his close friendship with those who respect him. He will show them his agreement.
15My eyes are always on Yahweh, because he will free me from danger.
16Turn to me and show me mercy, because I am lonely and suffering.
17My heart's troubles have grown. Oh, get me out of my distress!
18Look at my suffering and my hard work. Forgive all my sins.
19Look at my enemies, because there are many of them. They hate me with cruel hatred.
20Please protect me and rescue me. Don’t let me be disappointed, because I have taken shelter in you.
21Let honesty and goodness protect me, because I wait for you.
22God, rescue Israel from all its troubles.
