Lyrics
O LORD, I come before you in prayer My God, I trust in you Please do not let me be humiliated Do not let my enemies Triumphantly rejoice over me
Certainly none who rely on you Will be humiliated Those who deal in treachery Will be thwarted and humiliated
Make me understand your ways, O LORD Teach me your paths Guide me into your truth and teach me Teach me your paths Show me your ways
For you are the God who delivers me On you I rely all day long Remember your compassionate And faithful deeds, O LORD For you have always acted in this manner
Do not hold against me The sins of my youth Or my rebellious acts Because you are faithful to me Extend to me your favor, O LORD
The LORD is both kind and fair That is why he teaches sinners The right way to live May he show the humble what is right May he teach the humble his way
The LORD always proves faithful and reliable To those who follow The demands of his covenant Teach me your paths Show me your ways
For the sake of your reputation O LORD Forgive my sin Because it is great
The LORD shows his faithful followers The way they should live They experience his favor Their descendants inherit the land Your loyal followers receive your guidance You reveal your covenant to them
I continually look to the LORD for help For he will free my feet From the enemy’s net Turn toward me and have mercy on me For I am alone and oppressed
Deliver me from my distress Rescue me from my suffering See my pain and suffering Forgive all my sins
Watch my enemies For they outnumber me They hate me And want to harm me
Protect me and deliver me Please do not let me be humiliated For I have taken shelter in you May integrity and godliness protect me For I rely on you
Teach me your paths Show me your ways The LORD always proves faithful and reliable To those who follow The demands of his covenant
O God, rescue Israel From all their distress
