| 1[i]A Psalm[/i] of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. | 1Davidic. LORD, I turn to You. |
| 2O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. | 2My God, I trust in You. Do not let me be disgraced; do not let my enemies gloat over me. |
| 3Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. | 3No one who waits for You will be disgraced; those who act treacherously without cause will be disgraced. |
| 4Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. | 4Make Your ways known to me, LORD; teach me Your paths. |
| 5Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day. | 5Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; I wait for You all day long. |
| 6Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. | 6Remember, LORD, Your compassion and Your faithful love, for they have existed from antiquity. |
| 7Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD. | 7Do not remember the sins of my youth or my acts of rebellion; in keeping with Your faithful love, remember me because of Your goodness, LORD. |
| 8Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way. | 8The LORD is good and upright; therefore He shows sinners the way. |
| 9The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way. | 9He leads the humble in what is right and teaches them His way. |
| 10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. | 10All the LORD's ways show faithful love and truth to those who keep His covenant and decrees. |
| 11For Your name’s sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. | 11Because of Your name, Yahweh, forgive my sin, for it is great. |
| 12Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. | 12Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will show him the way he should choose. |
| 13He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth. | 13He will live a good life, and his descendants will inherit the land. |
| 14The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. | 14The secret counsel of the LORD is for those who fear Him, and He reveals His covenant to them. |
| 15My eyes are ever toward the LORD, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. | 15My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will pull my feet out of the net. |
| 16Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted. | 16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am alone and afflicted. |
| 17The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses! | 17The distresses of my heart increase; bring me out of my sufferings. |
| 18Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins. | 18Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins. |
| 19Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. | 19Consider my enemies; they are numerous, and they hate me violently. |
| 20Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. | 20Guard me and deliver me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in You. |
| 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. | 21May integrity and what is right watch over me, for I wait for You. |
| 22Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles! | 22God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses. |
