1I will lift up my soul to you, LORD. | 1Of David. To 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. | 2in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let 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. | 3Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced. |
4Cause me to understand your ways, LORD; teach me your paths. | 4Show me 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. | 5Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You. |
6Remember, LORD, your tender mercies and your gracious love; indeed, they are eternal! | 6Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age. |
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, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because 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 shows sinners the way. |
9He will guide the humble to justice; he will teach the humble his way. | 9He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them 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 LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees. |
11For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my sin, for it is great. | 11For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, 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? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him. |
13He will experience good things; his descendants will inherit the earth. | 13His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. |
14The intimate counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him so they may know his covenant. | 14The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them. |
15My eyes look to the LORD continuously, because he's the one who releases my feet from the trap. | 15My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh. |
16Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am lonely and oppressed. | 16Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted. |
17The troubles of my heart have increased; bring me out of my distress! | 17The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress. |
18Look upon my distress and affliction; forgive all my sins. | 18Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins. |
19Look how many enemies I have gained! They hate me with a vicious hatred. | 19Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred. |
20Preserve my life and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, because I take refuge in you. | 20Guard 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, because I wait for You. |
22Redeem Israel, God, from all its troubles. | 22Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress. |
