| 1I will lift up my soul to you, LORD. | 1To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul. |
| 2I trust in you, my God, do not let me be ashamed; do not let my enemies triumph over me. | 2O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. |
| 3Indeed, no one who waits on you will be ashamed, but those who offend for no reason will be put to shame. | 3Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. |
| 4Cause me to understand your ways, LORD; teach me your paths. | 4Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. |
| 5Guide me in your truth and teach me; for you are the God who delivers me. All day long I have waited for you. | 5Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. |
| 6Remember, LORD, your tender mercies and your gracious love; indeed, they are eternal! | 6Remember your mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old. |
| 7Do not remember my youthful sins and transgressions; but remember me in light of your gracious love, in light of your goodness, LORD. | 7Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O LORD! |
| 8The LORD is good and just; therefore he will teach sinners concerning the way. | 8Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. |
| 9He will guide the humble to justice; he will teach the humble his way. | 9He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. |
| 10All the paths of the LORD lead to gracious love and truth for those who keep his covenant and his decrees. | 10All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. |
| 11For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my sin, for it is great. | 11For your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my guilt, for it is great. |
| 12Who is the man who fears the LORD? God will teach him the path he should choose. | 12Who is the man who fears the LORD? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. |
| 13He will experience good things; his descendants will inherit the earth. | 13His soul shall abide in well-being, and his offspring shall inherit the land. |
| 14The intimate counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him so they may know his covenant. | 14The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. |
| 15My eyes look to the LORD continuously, because he's the one who releases my feet from the trap. | 15My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net. |
| 16Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am lonely and oppressed. | 16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. |
| 17The troubles of my heart have increased; bring me out of my distress! | 17The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses. |
| 18Look upon my distress and affliction; forgive all my sins. | 18Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins. |
| 19Look how many enemies I have gained! They hate me with a vicious hatred. | 19Consider how many are my foes, and with what violent hatred they hate me. |
| 20Preserve my life and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, because I take refuge in you. | 20Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. |
| 21Integrity and justice will preserve me, because I wait on you. | 21May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you. |
| 22Redeem Israel, God, from all its troubles. | 22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. |
