Rh Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty unto this day
 * For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage,

But hath extended lovingkindness unto us.
 * And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt,

Seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve,
 * Shall we again break thy commandments?

Lord, the God of Israel, thou art righteous;
 * Behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before thee because of this.

Psalm xxv UNTO thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
 * O my God, in thee have I trusted let me not be put to shame;

Show me thy ways, Lord; teach me thy paths.
 * Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation;

For thee do I wait all the day. Remember, Lord, 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 loving kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.
 * The meek will he guide in justice; and the meek will he teach his way.

All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth
 * Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For thy name's sake, Lord, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
 * Oh keep my soul, and deliver me:

Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.
 * Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for thee.
