Lead Me in Your Truth

¹To You, O Yahweh, I lift up my soul.

²O my God, in You I trust,

Do not let me be ashamed;

Do not let my enemies exult over me.

³Indeed, let none who hope in You be ashamed;

Let those who deal treacherously without cause be ashamed.

⁴¶Make me know Your ways, O Yahweh;

Teach me Your paths.

⁵Lead me in Your truth and teach me,

For You are the God of my salvation;

In You I hope all the day.

⁶Remember, O Yahweh, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses,

For they have been from of old.

⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;

According to Your lovingkindness remember me,

For the sake of Your goodness, O Yahweh.

⁸¶Good and upright is Yahweh;

Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.

⁹May He lead the humble in justice,[#25:9 Or afflicted]

And may He teach the humble His way.

¹⁰All the paths of Yahweh are lovingkindness and truth

To those who guard His covenant and His testimonies.

¹¹For Your name’s sake, O Yahweh,

Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

¹²¶Who is the man who fears Yahweh?

He will instruct him in the way he should choose.

¹³His soul will abide in goodness,

And his seed will inherit the land.

¹⁴The secret of Yahweh is for those who fear Him,[#25:14 Or counsel , intimacy]

And He will make them know His covenant.

¹⁵My eyes are continually toward Yahweh,

For He will bring my feet out of the net.

¹⁶¶Turn to me and be gracious to me,

For I am alone and afflicted.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged;[#25:17 Or Relieve the troubles of my heart]

Bring me out of my distresses.

¹⁸See my affliction and my trouble,[#25:18 Lit toil]

And forgive all my sins.

¹⁹See my enemies, for they are many,

And they hate me with violent hatred.

²⁰Keep my soul and deliver me;

Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness guard me,

For I hope in You.

²²Redeem Israel, O God,

Out of all his troubles.
