1 A Psalm of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. |
2 O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. |
3 Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. |
4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. |
5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day. |
6 Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. |
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness' sake, O LORD. |
8 Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way. |
9 The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way. |
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. |
11 For Your name's sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. |
12 Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. |
13 He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth. |
14 The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. |
15 My eyes are ever toward the LORD, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. |
16 Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted. |
17 The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses! |
18 Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins. |
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. |
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. |
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. |
22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles! |
