Psalms 25:3
1 To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.
4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.
5 Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
