6. O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past.
7. Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, O Lord.
8. The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way.
9. He will direct the mild in judgment. He will teach the meek his ways.
