| 1[i]A Psalm[/i] of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. | 1I will lift up my soul to you, LORD. |
| 2O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. | 2I trust in you, my God, do not let me be ashamed; do not let my enemies triumph over me. |
| 3Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. | 3Indeed, no one who waits on you will be ashamed, but those who offend for no reason will be put to shame. |
| 4Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. | 4Cause me to understand your ways, 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 who delivers me. All day long I have waited for you. |
| 6Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. | 6Remember, LORD, your tender mercies and your gracious love; indeed, they are eternal! |
| 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 my youthful sins and transgressions; but remember me in light of your gracious love, in light of your goodness, LORD. |
| 8Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way. | 8The LORD is good and just; therefore he will teach sinners concerning the way. |
| 9The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way. | 9He will guide the humble to justice; he will teach the humble his way. |
| 10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. | 10All the paths of the LORD lead to gracious love and truth for those who keep his covenant and his decrees. |
| 11For Your name’s sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. | 11For the sake of your name, LORD, 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? God will teach him the path he should choose. |
| 13He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth. | 13He will experience good things; his descendants will inherit the earth. |
| 14The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. | 14The intimate counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him so they may know his covenant. |
| 15My eyes are ever toward the LORD, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. | 15My eyes look to the LORD continuously, because he's the one who releases my feet from the trap. |
| 16Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted. | 16Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am lonely and oppressed. |
| 17The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses! | 17The troubles of my heart have increased; bring me out of my distress! |
| 18Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins. | 18Look upon my distress and affliction; forgive all my sins. |
| 19Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. | 19Look how many enemies I have gained! They hate me with a vicious hatred. |
| 20Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. | 20Preserve my life and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, because I take refuge in you. |
| 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. | 21Integrity and justice will preserve me, because I wait on you. |
| 22Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles! | 22Redeem Israel, God, from all its troubles. |
