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.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my
transgressions: according to thy mercy remember
me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon
me; for I am desolate and afficted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring
me out of my distresses.
Look upon mine afflicition and my
pain; and forgive all my sins.
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.
(PSALM 25: 5-8, 16-18, 20-21)
