Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
