| 1 |
To you, Yahweh, I lift up my soul.
|
| 2 |
My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.
|
| 3 |
Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
|
| 4 |
Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.
|
| 5 |
Guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long.
|
| 6 |
Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.
|
| 7 |
Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh.
|
| 8 |
Good and upright is Yahweh, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
|
| 9 |
He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.
|
| 10 |
All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
|
| 11 |
For your name’s sake, Yahweh, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
|
| 12 |
What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
|
| 13 |
His soul will dwell at ease. His offspring will inherit the land.
|
| 14 |
The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.
|
| 15 |
My eyes are ever on Yahweh, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
|
| 16 |
Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
|
| 17 |
The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses.
|
| 18 |
Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.
|
| 19 |
Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.
|
| 20 |
Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
|
| 21 |
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
|
| 22 |
God, redeem Israel out of all his troubles.
