1: By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up. 2: My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me. 3: Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed. 4: Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me. 5: Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou [art] the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day. 6: Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they. 7: Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah. 8: Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way. 9: He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way. 10: All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies. 11: For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great. 12: Who [is] this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose. 13: His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land. 14: The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know. 15: Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet. 16: Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I. 17: The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out. 18: See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins. 19: See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me. 20: Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee. 21: Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee. 22: Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
