My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee.

Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths.

Leade me foorth in thy trueth, and teache me: for thou art the God of my saluation: in thee doe I trust all the day.

Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer.
7 Nkae me mmabunu berɛ mu bɔne ne mʼatuateɛ akwan; kae me sɛdeɛ wʼadɔeɛ teɛ, Ao Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ wo yɛ.
Remember not the sinnes of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindenesse remember thou me, euen for thy goodnesse sake, O Lord.

Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way.

For thy Names sake, O Lord, be merciful vnto mine iniquitie, for it is great.
12 Enti hwan ne onipa a ɔsuro Awurade? Ɔbɛkyerɛ no kwan a wabɔ ama no.
What man is he that feareth the Lord? him wil he teache the way that hee shall chuse.
13 Ɔbɛdi yie wɔ ne nkwa nna mu, na nʼasefoɔ afa asase no sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.
His soule shall dwell at ease, and his seede shall inherite the land.

The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding.
