11 For (A)Your name’s sake, O Lord,
(B)Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

12 Who is the man who (C)fears the Lord?
He will (D)instruct him in the way he should choose.
13 His soul will (E)abide in [a]prosperity,
And his [b]descendants will (F)inherit the [c]land.
14 The [d](G)secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
[e]And He will (H)make them know His covenant.
15 My (I)eyes are continually toward the Lord,
For He will [f](J)pluck my feet out of the net.

16 (K)Turn to me and be gracious to me,
For I am (L)lonely and afflicted.
17 [g]The (M)troubles of my heart are enlarged;
Bring me (N)out of my distresses.
18 (O)Look upon my affliction and my [h]trouble,
And (P)forgive all my sins.
