1 | To thee, O LORD, I lift up my soul. |
2 | O my God, in thee I trust, let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. |
3 | Yea, let none that wait for thee be put to shame; let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. |
4 | Make me to know thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. |
5 | Lead me in thy truth, and teach me, for thou art the God of my salvation; for thee I wait all the day long. |
6 | Be mindful of thy mercy, O LORD, and of thy steadfast love, for they have been from of old. |
7 | Remember not the sins of my youth, or my transgressions; according to thy steadfast love remember me, for thy goodness' sake, O LORD! |
8 | Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. |
9 | He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. |
10 | All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. |
11 | For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my guilt, for it is great. |
12 | Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. |
13 | He himself shall abide in prosperity, and his children shall possess the land. |
14 | The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. |
15 | My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net. |
16 | Turn thou to me, and be gracious to me; for I am lonely and afflicted. |
17 | Relieve the troubles of my heart, and bring me out of my distresses. |
18 | Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins. |
19 | Consider how many are my foes, and with what violent hatred they hate me. |
20 | Oh guard my life, and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee. |
21 | May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for thee. |
22 | Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. |
