Teach me your paths and forgive me

¹Of David. To you, LORD, I lift up my whole self. ²My God, I trust in you; do not let me be disgraced, and do not let my enemies gloat over me. ³Indeed, everyone who waits for you will be spared disgrace; it is those who betray others for nothing who will be disgraced. ⁴LORD, let me come to know your ways; teach me to follow your paths. ⁵Lead me by your faithfulness and teach me, since you are the God who saves me; it is you I wait for the whole day through. ⁶LORD, keep in mind your tender mercies and your acts of loyal love; they have been yours since ancient times. ⁷Do not hold against me the sins of my youth or my acts of rebellion; in your loyal love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, LORD. ⁸The LORD is good and upright; that is why he shows sinners the way to go. ⁹He directs the lowly in what is just, and to the lowly he teaches his way. ¹⁰Every path the LORD takes is loyal love and faithfulness toward all who hold to his covenant and his decrees. ¹¹LORD, for the honor of your name, forgive the wrong I have done, because it is so great. ¹²Is there anyone who fears the LORD? He will show that person which way to choose.^{a 13}They will live their lives in well-being, and their descendants will possess the land. ¹⁴The LORD takes those who fear him into his confidence; he lets them know his covenant. ¹⁵I never stop looking to the LORD, because he will pull my feet free of the net. ¹⁶Turn toward me and show me grace, for I am lonely and in misery. ¹⁷The troubles in my heart have grown larger and larger; rescue me from the tight places I am in.^{b 18}See my misery and my toil, and lift the weight of all my sins from me. ¹⁹Look how my enemies have multiplied, and how violent is the hatred they hold against me. ²⁰Keep my life safe and set me free; do not let me be disgraced, for I have made you my refuge. ²¹May integrity and uprightness stand guard over me, for I wait for you. ²²God, set Israel free from all its troubles.
