- A Psalm of David.
- 1
- Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
- 2
- O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
- 3
- Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
- 4
- Shew me thy ways, O LORD;
teach me thy paths.
- 5
- Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation;
on thee do I wait all the day.
- 6
- Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.
- 7
- Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.
- 8
- Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
- 9
- The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
- 10
- All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
- 11
- For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity;
for it is great.
- 12
- What man is he that feareth the LORD?
him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
- 13
- His soul shall dwell at ease;
and his seed shall inherit the earth.
- 14
- The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him;
and he will shew them his covenant.
- 15
- Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;
for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
- 16
- Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;
for I am desolate and afflicted.
- 17
- The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
- 18
- Look upon mine affliction and my pain;
and forgive all my sins.
- 19
- Consider mine enemies;
for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
- 20
- O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed;
for I put my trust in thee.
- 21
- Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;
for I wait on thee.
- 22
- Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
