Psalm 25 - Morning (My paraphrase is below)

To you, O Lord, I lift my soul.
In you, O God, I trust; do not let me be brought to shame;
do not let my enemies rejoice over me.
Yea, do not let any wait upon you be ashamed;
let those who deceive in vain be ashamed.
Show me your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.
Lead me in truth, and instruct me,
for on you, the God of my salvation, do I wait all day long.

Be mindful of your tender mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
Remember not my youth offences nor my rebellion;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
remember me for the sake of your goodness
