Do not let me be put to shame,

    will ever be put to shame,
but shame will be the lot of all
    who break faith without justification.
^4 [c]Make your ways known to me, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.
⁵ Guide me in your truth and instruct me,
    for you are God, my Savior,
    and in you I hope all the day long.
⁶ Be mindful, O Lord, that mercy and kindness
    have been yours from of old.
⁷ Remember not the sins of my youth
    or my many transgressions,
but remember me in your kindness,
    for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.

    and teaches them the path to follow.
¹⁰ The ways of the Lord^[e] are kindness and truth
    for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.

“You alone are the Lord:
    you have created the heavens,

the earth and all that is upon it,

To all of them you gave life,
    and the hosts of heaven worship you.
⁷ “You are the Lord,
    the God who chose Abram,
who brought him out from Ur of the Chaldeans

    you made a covenant with him
to give to his descendants
    the land of the Canaanites,
Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,
    Jebusites, and Girgashites.

⁹ “You beheld the misery of our ancestors in Egypt
    and heard their cry at the Red Sea.
¹⁰ “You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh,

and you won renown for yourself
    that has lasted even to this very day.
¹¹ “You divided the sea before them,
and they passed through the sea on dry ground.
However, their pursuers you hurled into the depths

    and by a pillar of fire during the night,
to light the way ahead of them
    along which they were to follow.
¹³ “You came down on Mount Sinai
    and spoke with them from heaven.
You gave them regulations and laws

    and through your servant Moses
    you gave them commandments, statutes, and laws.
¹⁵ “You gave them bread from heaven
    to ease their hunger,
and you brought forth water from a rock
    to quench their thirst.
You also told them to enter
    and take possession of the land
    which you had solemnly sworn to give them.
