King James Version
Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
— Psalms 25:4-1953, King James Version

“Make me understand your ways, O LORD! Teach me your paths! Guide me into your truth and teach me. For you are the God who delivers me; on you I rely all day long. Remember your compassionate and faithful deeds, O LORD, for you have always acted in this manner. Do not hold against me the sins of my youth or my rebellious acts! Because you are faithful to me, extend to me your favor, O LORD! The LORD is both kind and fair; that is why he teaches sinners the right way to live. May he show the humble what is right! May he teach the humble his way! The LORD always proves faithful and reliable to those who follow the demands of his covenant. For the sake of your reputation, O LORD, forgive my sin, because it is great. The LORD shows his faithful followers the way they should live. They experience his favor; their descendants inherit the land. The LORD’s loyal followers receive his guidance, and he reveals his covenantal demands to them. I continually look to the LORD for help, for he will free my feet from the enemy’s net. Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am alone and oppressed! Deliver me from my distress; rescue me from my suffering! See my pain and suffering! Forgive all my sins! Watch my enemies, for they outnumber me; they hate me and want to harm me. Protect me and deliver me! Please do not let me be humiliated, for I have taken shelter in you! May integrity and godliness protect me, for I rely on you! O God, rescue Israel from all their distress!”
“I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things. I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit. I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord: That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works. I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth. Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men: In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts. But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me. My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord. ”
“Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways. Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day. O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times. Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness. Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way. He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them. All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness. Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great. If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure. His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage. The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them. My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net. Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper. The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows. Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins. See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me. O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you. For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you. Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles.”

Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
