A Plea for Deliverance and Forgiveness

A Psalm of David.

1 To ^aYou, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

2 O my God, I ^atrust in You;
Let me not be ashamed;
^bLet not my enemies triumph over me.

3 Indeed, let no one who¹ waits on You be ashamed;
Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

4 ^aShow me Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.

5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.

6 Remember, O Lord, ^aYour tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they are from of old.
