Let those who break faith for nothing be ashamed. Show me your ways, Lord. Teach me your tracks. Lead me in your truth and teach me, because you're the God of my salvation. I've waited for you all day long. Remember your tender mercies, LORD, and your faithful love, for they have been there from ancient times. Don't remember the sins of my youth or my rebellions. Remember me according to your mercy, for the sake of your goodness, Lord. The LORD is good and upright; so he teaches sinners the way. He'll lead the humble in judgment, and he'll teach the humble his way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, for those who keep his covenant and his instructions. For the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my wrongdoing, because it's great.

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 LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
