To You, O Lord, I Lift Up My Soul

1By David.

א

Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.

ב

2My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

ג

3Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

ד

4Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

הו

5Cause 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.

ז

6Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.

ח

7Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness’ sake, O Jehovah.

ט

8Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

י

9He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.

כ

10All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

ל

11For Thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.

מ

12Who [is] this — the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

נ

13His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.

ס

14The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant — to cause them to know.

ע

15Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.

פ

16Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.

צ

17The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.

ר

18See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

19See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.

ש

20Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.

ת

21Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.

22Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
