The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1To You, O יהוה, I lift up my being. 2O my Elohim, in You I have put my trust; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies exult over me. 3Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those who are treacherous without cause be ashamed. 4Show me Your ways, O יהוה; Teach me Your paths. 5Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the Elohim of my deliverance; On You I wait all the day. 6Remember, O יהוה, Your compassion and Your kindnesses, For they are from everlasting. 7Do not remember the sins of my youth, and my transgressions; According to Your kindness remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O יהוה. 8Good and straight is יהוה; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way. 9He guides the meek ones in right-ruling, And He teaches the meek ones His way. 10All the paths of יהוה are kindness and truth, To those who guard His covenant and His witnesses. 11For Your Name’s sake, O יהוה, You shall pardon my crookedness, though it is great. 12Who, then, is the man that fears יהוה? He teaches him in the way he should choose. 13His life dwells in good, And his seed inherits the earth. 14The secret of יהוה is with those who fear Him, And He makes His covenant known to them. 15My eyes are ever toward יהוה, For He brings my feet out of the net. 16Turn Your face to me, and show me favour, For I am lonely and afflicted. 17The distresses of my heart have enlarged; Oh, bring me out of my distresses! 18Look on my affliction and my toil, And forgive all my sins. 19See how many my enemies have become; And they hate me with a violent hatred. 20Oh, guard my life, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in You. 21Let integrity and straightness guard me, For I have waited for You. 22Redeem Yisra’ĕl, O Elohim, Out of all his distresses! |
