10 All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful
toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
11 For the sake of your name, Lord,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
12 Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?
He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.[b]
13 They will spend their days in prosperity,
and their descendants will inherit the land.
14 The Lord confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the Lord,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.
He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.[b]
13 They will spend their days in prosperity,
and their descendants will inherit the land.
14 The Lord confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the Lord,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 Relieve the troubles of my heart
and free me from my anguish.
18 Look on my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.
19 See how numerous are my enemies
and how fiercely they hate me!
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 Relieve the troubles of my heart
and free me from my anguish.
18 Look on my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.
19 See how numerous are my enemies
and how fiercely they hate me!
20 Guard my life and rescue me;
do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope, Lord,[c] is in you.
do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope, Lord,[c] is in you.
22 Deliver Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!
from all their troubles!

詩人相信上帝是信實的,祂的應許必不落空,所以勇敢的宣告:「誰敬畏耶和華,耶和華必指示他當選擇的道路。他必安然居住;他的後裔必承受地土。耶和華與敬畏他的人親密;他必將自己的約指示他們。」
也因此詩人可以勇敢向上帝求:「求你轉向我,憐恤我,因為我是孤獨困苦。
我心裡的愁苦甚多,求你救我脫離我的禍患。求你看顧我的困苦,我的艱難,赦免我一切的罪。求你察看我的仇敵,因為他們人多,並且痛痛地恨我。求你保護我的性命,搭救我,使我不致羞愧,因為我投靠你。願純全、正直保守我,因為我等候你。上帝啊,求你救贖以色列脫離他一切的愁苦。」
這些禱告,讓我們想起保羅在腓立比書所說的:「應當一無掛慮,只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求,和感謝,將你們所要的告訴上帝。上帝所賜、出人意外的平安必在基督耶穌裡保守你們的心懷意念。」(4:6-7)
