Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk and live in Your truth;
direct and unite my heart, solely, reverently, to fear and honor Your name.
I will confess and praise You, O Lord my God, with my whole united heart;
and I will glorify Your name forevermore.
For great is Your mercy and loving-kindness towards me; and You have
delivered me from the depths of Sheol, from the exceeding depths of affliction.
O God, the proud and insolent have risen against me; a rabble of violent and
ruthless men has sought and demanded my life, and they have not set You before them.
But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding
in mercy and loving-kindness and truth.
O turn to me and have mercy and be gracious to me; grant strength, might,
and inflexibility to temptation to Your servant and save the son of Your handmaiden.
Show me a sign of Your evident goodwill and favor, that those who hate me
may see it and be put to shame, because You Lord will show Your approval
of me when You help and comfort me.
Psalm 86:11-17
