(A)Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.
Lead me in your (B)truth and teach me,
    for you are the God of my salvation;
    for you I wait all the day long.

Remember your (C)mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
    (D)for they have been from of old.
Remember not (E)the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
    according to your (F)steadfast love remember me,
    for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

(G)Good and upright is the Lord;
    therefore he (H)instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
    and teaches the humble his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are (I)steadfast love and faithfulness,
    for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For your (J)name's sake, O Lord,
    pardon my guilt, for it is (K)great.
12 Who is the man who fears the Lord?
    Him (L)will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
13 His soul shall (M)abide in well-being,
    and his (N)offspring (O)shall inherit the land.
14 (P)The friendship[a] of the Lord is for those who fear him,
    and he makes known to them his covenant.
