22 Brenton verses
O my God, I have trusted in thee: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.
Ὁ Θεός μου ἐπὶ σοὶ πέποιθα, μὴ καταισχυνθείην· μηδὲ καταγελασάτωσάν μου οἱ ἐχθροί μου,
For none of them that wait on thee shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
καὶ γὰρ πάντες οἱ ὑπομένοντές σε οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῶσιν· αἰσχυνθήτωσαν οἱ ἀνομοῦντες διακενῆς.
Shew me thy ways, O Lord; and teach me thy paths.
Τὰς ὁδούς σου, Κύριε, γνώρισόν μοι, καὶ τὰς τρίβους σου δίδαξόν με.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art God my Saviour: and I have waited on thee all the day.
Ὁδήγησόν με ἐπὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου, καὶ δίδαξόν με, ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ σωτήρ μου, καὶ σὲ ὑπέμεινα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν.
Remember thy compassions, O Lord, and thy mercies, for they are from everlasting.
Μνήσθητι τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου Κύριε, καὶ τὰ ἐλέη σου, ὅτι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος εἰσίν.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my sins of ignorance: remember me according to thy mercy, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
Ἁμαρτίας νεότητός μου, καὶ ἀγνοίας μου μὴ μνησθῇς· κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου μνήσθητί μου, ἕνεκεν τῆς χρηστότητος σου, Κύριε.
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.

Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.
