11 For the (A)sake of Your name, Lord,
(B)Forgive my wrongdoing, for it is great.

12 Who is the person who (C)fears the Lord?
He will (D)instruct him in the way he should choose.
13 His soul will (E)dwell 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)rescue my feet from 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 at my misery and my trouble,
And (P)forgive all my sins.
19 Look at my enemies, for they (Q)are many,
And they (R)hate me with violent hatred.
20 (S)Guard my soul and save me;
Do not let me (T)be ashamed, for I take refuge in You.
21 Let (U)integrity and uprightness protect me,
For (V)I wait for You.
22 (W)Redeem Israel, God,
From all his distress.
