12 Who is the man who fears the Lord?(A)
He will show him the way he should choose.(B)
13 He will live a good life,
and his descendants will inherit the land.[a](C)
14 The secret counsel of the Lord
is for those who fear Him,
and He reveals His covenant to them.(D)
15 My eyes are always on the Lord,
for He will pull my feet out of the net.(E)

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am alone and afflicted.(F)
17 The distresses of my heart increase;[b](G)
bring me out of my sufferings.(H)
18 Consider my affliction and trouble,(I)
and take away all my sins.(J)
19 Consider my enemies; they are numerous,(K)
and they hate me violently.(L)
20 Guard me and deliver me;(M)
do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in You.(N)
21 May integrity and what is right
watch over me,
for I wait for You.(O)

22 God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses.(P)
