David prayeth for pardon and help. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Remember, O , † thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O.

Good and upright is the : therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

All the paths of the are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For thy name's sake, O, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

What man is he that feareth the ? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

His soul † shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

The secret of the is with them that fear him; and he will ‖ shew them his covenant.

Mine eyes are ever toward the ; for he shall † pluck my feet out of the net.

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with † cruel hatred.

O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. 

David in confidence of his integrity resorteth unto God.

UDGE me, O ; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the ; therefore I shall not slide.

Examine me, O, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O :

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place † where thine honour dwelleth.

‖ Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with † bloody men:

In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is † full of bribes.

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the.

HE is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, † came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the all the days of my life, to behold ‖ the beauty of the, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices † of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the.

Hear, O, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

‖ When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face,, will I seek.

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast
