6 Thy tender mercies, Lord,
I pray thee to remember,
And loving-kindnesses; for they
have been of old for ever.

7 My sins and faults of youth
do thou, O Lord, forget:
After thy mercy think on me,
and for thy goodness great.

8 God good and upright is:

the he'll sinners show.

9 The meek in judgment he will guide, and make his path to know.

10 The whole paths of the Lord

are truth and mercy sure,

To those that do his cov'nant keep, and testimonies pure.

11 Now, for thine own name's sake,
O Lord, I thee entreat
To pardon mine iniquity;
for it is very great.

12 What man is he that fears

the Lord, and doth him serve? Him shall he teach the way that he shall chuse, and still observe.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his posterity

Shall flourish still, and of the earth inheritors shall be.

14 With those that fear him is
the secret of the Lord;

The knowledge of his covenant
he will to them afford.

15 Mine eyes upon the Lord continually are set;

For he it is that shall bring forth my feet out of the net.

16 Turn unto me thy face,

and to me mercy show; Because that I am desolate, and am brought very low.

17 My heart's griefs are increas'd: me from distress relieve,

18 See mine affliction and my pain, and all my sins forgive.

19 Consider thou my foes,

because they many are; And it a cruel hatred is which they against me bear.

20 O do thou keep my soul, do thou deliver me: And let me never be asham'd, because I trust in thee.

21 Let uprightness and truth keep me, who thee attend. 22 Redemption, Lord, to Israel from all his troubles send.
