The Morning Psalm
|
|
Teach Me Your Way, O LORD
|
|
Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth;* knit my heart to you
that I may fear your Name.
I will thank you, O LORD my God, with all my heart,* and glorify your Name for
evermore.
For great is your love toward me;* you have delivered me from the nethermost Pit.
The arrogant rise up against me, O God, and a band of violent men seeks my life;*
they have not set you before their eyes.
But you, O LORD, are gracious and full of compassion,* slow to anger, and full of
kindness and truth.
Turn to me and have mercy upon me;* give your strength to your servant; and
save the child of your handmaid.
Show me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be
ashamed;* because you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me. |
