David pleads for truth and asks for pardon—Mercy and truth are for those who keep the commandments.

 UNTO thee, O LORD, do I ^alift^• up my soul.

 O my God, I ^atrust in thee: let me not be ^bashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ^aashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

 Shew me thy ^aways^•, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

 ^aLead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I ^bwait^• all the day.

 Remember, O LORD, thy tender ^amercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

 Remember not the ^asins^• of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy ^bmercy^• remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he ^ateach sinners in the way.

 The meek will he ^aguide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

 For thy ^aname^•’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the ^aearth.

 The ^asecret of the LORD is with them that ^bfear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

 Mine ^aeyes^• are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the ^bnet^•.

 Turn thee unto me, and have ^amercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

 Look upon mine affliction and my ^apain; and forgive all my sins.

 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with ^acruel hatred.

 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ^aashamed; for I put my ^btrust in thee.

 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

 ^aRedeem^• Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
