Refrain:Remember, Lord, your compassion and love. 1To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul; O my God, in you I trust; • let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies triumph over me. 2Let none who look to you be put to shame, • but let the treacherous be shamed and frustrated. 3Make me to know your ways, O Lord, • and teach me your paths. 4Lead me in your truth and teach me, • for you are the God of my salvation; for you have I hoped all the day long. 5Remember, Lord, your compassion and love, • for they are from everlasting. R 6Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions, • but think on me in your goodness, O Lord, according to your steadfast love. 7Gracious and upright is the Lord; • therefore shall he teach sinners in the way. 8He will guide the humble in doing right • and teach his way to the lowly. 9All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth • to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. R 10For your name’s sake, O Lord, • be merciful to my sin, for it is great. 11Who are those who fear the Lord? • Them will he teach in the way that they should choose. 12Their soul shall dwell at ease • and their offspring shall inherit the land. 13The hidden purpose of the Lord is for those who fear him • and he will show them his covenant. 14My eyes are ever looking to the Lord, • for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. R 15Turn to me and be gracious to me, • for I am alone and brought very low. 16The sorrows of my heart have increased; • O bring me out of my distress. 17Look upon my adversity and misery • and forgive me all my sin. 18Look upon my enemies, for they are many • and they bear a violent hatred against me. 19O keep my soul and deliver me; • let me not be put to shame, for I have put my trust in you. 20Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, • for my hope has been in you. 21Deliver Israel, O God, • out of all his troubles. Refrain:Remember, Lord, your compassion and love. Free us, God of mercy, from all that keeps us from you; relieve the misery of the anxious and the ashamed and fill us with the hope of peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
