3 And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded.

6 O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past.

7 Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, O Lord.

8 The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way.

12 Which is the man who fears the Lord? He has established a law for him, on the way that he has chosen.

14 The Lord is a firmament to those who fear him, and his covenant will be made manifest to them.

15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pull my feet from the snare.

16 Look upon me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.

17 The troubles of my heart have been multiplied. Deliver me from my needfulness.

The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.

18 See my lowliness and my hardship, and release all my offenses.

See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with an unjust hatred.

20 Preserve my soul and rescue me. I will not be ashamed, for I have hoped in you.

Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.

21 The innocent and the righteous have adhered to me, because I have remained with you.

The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.

22 Free Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.

Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
