A Prayer for Guidance, Pardon and Protection |
|
1 |
Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
|
2 |
O my God, I trust in thee:
|
let me not be ashamed, |
let not mine enemies triumph over me. |
|
|
3 |
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed:
|
let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. |
|
|
4 |
Show me thy ways, O LORD;
|
5 |
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:
|
for thou art the God of my salvation; |
on thee do I wait all the day. |
|
|
6 |
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses;
|
for they have been ever of old. |
|
|
7 |
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
|
according to thy mercy remember thou me |
for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD. |
|
|
8 |
Good and upright is the LORD:
|
therefore will he teach sinners in the way. |
|
|
9 |
The meek will he guide in judgment:
|
and the meek will he teach his way. |
|
|
10 |
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth
|
unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. |
|
|
11 |
For thy name’s sake, O LORD,
|
pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. |
|
|
12 |
What man is he that feareth the LORD?
|
Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. |
|
|
13 |
His soul shall dwell at ease;
|
and his seed shall inherit the earth. |
|
|
14 |
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him;
|
and he will show them his covenant. |
|
|
15 |
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;
|
for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. |
|
|
16 |
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;
|
for I am desolate and afflicted. |
|
|
17 |
The troubles of my heart are enlarged:
|
O bring thou me out of my distresses. |
|
|
18 |
Look upon mine affliction and my pain;
|
19 |
Consider mine enemies; for they are many;
|
and they hate me with cruel hatred. |
|
|
20 |
O keep my soul, and deliver me:
|
let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. |
|
|
21 |
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;
|
22 |
Redeem Israel, O God,
|
