Teach me Your way, O Lord, I will walk and live in Your truth; Direct my heart to fear Your name [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].I will give thanks and praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; And will glorify Your name forevermore.For great is Your lovingkindness and graciousness toward me; And You have rescued my life from the depths of Sheol [from death].O God, arrogant and insolent men have risen up against me; A band of violent men have sought my life, And they have not set You before them.But You, O Lord, are a God [who protects and is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness and truth.Turn to me, and be gracious to me; Grant Your strength [Your might and the power to resist temptation] to Your servant, And save the son of Your handmaid.Show me a sign of [Your] goodwill, That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, Because You, O Lord, helped and comforted me. - Psalm 86:11-17
