So shake me from my sins; My crimes remember not, In mercy charge not them, For You my LORD are good. You, LORD, are good and just, Lead sinners to Your paths. To justice lead the poor, And teach the lost his road; io A All my LoRD’s paths are smooth and safe, To those who guard His Law and Proofs. O, LORD, for Your name’s sake,n
Forgive my grievous sin! The men who fear the LORD,gg
With care should choose their path ;···• And then their life will rest in ease. Their children hold the land. The LORD directs His friends, And teaches them His Law. I, therefore, watch the LORD, Who freed my feet fromnets, Who turned to me and pitied, I6 When I was lost and weak. He eased my griefs of heart, And brought me from my woes: Saw I was weak and lost,18
And freed me from my wrongs. I saw my many foes, My cruel haters, hate. Yet You relieved my life; My trust on you held up. You kept me firm and straight,21
For I had trust in You. Tm: Envov. My God set Israel free22
