¹ Remember, O LORD, Your [tender] compassion and Your lovingkindnesses, For they have been from of old.

² Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; According to Your lovingkindness remember me, For Your goodness' sake, O LORD.

³ Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.

⁴ He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way.

⁵ All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and goodness and truth and faithfulness To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.

⁶ For Your name's sake, O LORD, Pardon my wickedness and my guilt, for they are great.

⁷ Who is the man who fears the LORD [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with submissive wonder]? He will teach him [through His word] in the way he should choose.

⁸ His soul will dwell in prosperity and goodness, And his descendants will inherit the land.

⁹ The secret [of the wise counsel] of the LORD is for those who fear Him, And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning.

¹⁰ My eyes are continually toward the LORD, For He will bring my feet out of the net.

¹¹ Turn to me [LORD] and be gracious to me, For I am alone and afflicted.

¹² The troubles of my heart are multiplied; Bring me out of my distresses.

¹³ Look upon my affliction and my trouble, And forgive all my sins.

¹⁴ Look upon my enemies, for they are many; They hate me with cruel and violent hatred.

¹⁵ Guard my soul and rescue me; Do not let me be ashamed or disappointed, For I have taken refuge in You.

¹⁶ Let integrity and uprightness protect me, For I wait [expectantly] for You.
