my prayer for 2007

Psalm 25: 1-7, 16-22

To you, O LORD, I life up my soul;
in you I trust, Oh my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame,
but they will be put to shame
who are treacherous without excuse.

Show me your ways, O LORD,
teach me your paths;
guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
Remember, O LORD, your great mercy
and love,
for they are from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you are good, O LORD.



Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart have
multiplied;
free me from my anguish.
Look upon my affliction and my
distress
and take away all my sins.
See how my enemies have increased
and how fiercely they hate me!
Guard my life and rescue me;
let me not be up to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
May integrity and uprightness protect
me,
because my hope is in you.

Redeem Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!
