1: [A Psalm] of David. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 2: O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me, 3: Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause. 4: Show me 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; on thee do I wait all the day. 6: Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old. 7: Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. 8: Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9: The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10: All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 11: For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it [is] great. 12: What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose. 13: His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 14: The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. 15: My eyes [are] ever towards the LORD; for he will pluck my feet out of the net. 16: Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted. 17: The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. 18: Look upon 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: O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. 21: Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. 22: Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
