In the morning let me hear of your mercy, for in you I trust. Show me the path I should walk, for I entrust my life to you.
Give me understanding to keep your law, to observe it with all my heart.
Your hands made me and fashioned me; give me understanding to learn your commandments.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your kind spirit guide me on ground that is level.
Preserve my soul and rescue me; do not let me be disgraced, for in you I seek refuge.
Lord, show me your way; lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
Sing praise to the Lord, you faithful; give thanks to his holy memory.
I will instruct you and show you the way you should walk, give you counsel with my eye upon you.
Deep calls to deep in the roar of your torrents, and all your waves and breakers sweep over me.
Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High.
But I, through the abundance of your mercy, will enter into your house. I will bow down toward your holy sanctuary out of fear of you.
They roam about as scavengers; if they are not filled, they howl.
Gladden the soul of your servant; to you, Lord, I lift up my soul.
Fill us at daybreak with your mercy, that all our days we may sing for joy.
And your ears shall hear a word behind you: “This is the way; walk in it,” when you would turn to the right or the left.
Thus says the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord, your God, teaching you how to prevail, leading you on the way you should go.
Let us lift up our hearts as well as our hands toward God in heaven!
Let us know, let us strive to know the Lord; as certain as the dawn is his coming. He will come to us like the rain, like spring rain that waters the earth.”
Then Manoah asked, “Now, when what you say comes true, what rules must the boy follow? What must he do?”
David then asked, “Will the citizens of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” The Lord answered: They will deliver you.
