³Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame;
   let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

⁴Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
   teach me your paths.
⁵Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
   for you are the God of my salvation;
   for you I wait all day long.

⁶Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
   for they have been from of old.
⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
   according to your steadfast love remember me,
   for your goodness’ sake, O Lord!

⁸Good and upright is the Lord;
   therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
