1
To you, O LORD, I 1lift up my soul.
2
O my God, in you I 2trust; 3let me not be put to shame; 4let not my enemies exult over me.
3
Indeed, 5none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are 6wantonly 7treacherous.
4
8Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.
5
Lead me in your 9truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
6
Remember your 10mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love, 11for they have been from of old.
7
Remember not 12the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your 13steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O LORD!
8
14Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he 15instructs 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 16steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11
For your 17name's sake, O LORD, pardon my guilt, for it is 18great.
12
Who is the man who fears the LORD? Him 19will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
13
His soul shall 20abide in well-being, and his 21offspring 22shall inherit the land.
14
23The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.
15
My 24eyes are ever toward the LORD, for he will 25pluck my feet out of the net.
16
26Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
17
The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses.
18
27Consider 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 soul, and deliver me! 28Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
21
May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
22
29Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
