3No one who waits for you will ever be put to shame, but all who are unfaithful will be put to shame. 4Make your ways known to me, O Lord, and teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me because you are God, my savior. I wait all day long for you. 6Remember, O Lord, your compassionate and merciful deeds. They have existed from eternity. 7Do not remember the sins of my youth or my rebellious ways. Remember me, O Lord, in keeping with your mercy and your goodness.
