To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
O my God, in you I trust;
do not let me be put to shame;
do not let my enemies exult over me.
Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame;
let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths;
Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long.
Psalm 25: 1-5
