1
|
Of David. 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. |
|
3
|
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. |
|
6
|
Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age. |
|
7
|
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD. |
|
8
|
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way. |
|
9
|
He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way. |
|
10
|
All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees. |
|
11
|
For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great. |
|
12
|
Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him. |
|
13
|
His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. |
|
14
|
The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them. |
|
15
|
My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh. |
|
16
|
Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted. |
|
17
|
The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress. |
|
18
|
Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins. |
|
19
|
Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred. |
|
20
|
Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You. |
|
21
|
May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You. |
|
22
|
Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress. |
