| 1I will lift up my soul to you, LORD. | 1LORD, I appeal to you. |
| 2I trust in you, my God, do not let me be ashamed; do not let 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, no one who waits on you will be ashamed, but those who offend for no reason will be put to shame. | 3No one who waits for you will be disgraced; those who act treacherously without cause will be disgraced. |
| 4Cause me to understand your ways, LORD; teach me your paths. | 4Make your ways known to me, 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; I wait for you all day long. |
| 6Remember, LORD, your tender mercies and your gracious love; indeed, they are eternal! | 6Remember, LORD, your compassion and your faithful love, for they have existed from antiquity. |
| 7Do not remember my youthful sins and transgressions; but remember me in light of your gracious love, in light of your goodness, 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. |
| 8The LORD is good and just; therefore he will teach sinners concerning the way. | 8The LORD is good and upright; therefore he shows sinners the way. |
| 9He will guide the humble to justice; he will teach the humble his way. | 9He leads 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 show faithful love and truth to those who keep his covenant and decrees. |
| 11For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my sin, for it is great. | 11LORD, for the sake of your name, forgive my iniquity, for it is immense. |
| 12Who is the man who fears the LORD? God will teach him the path he should choose. | 12Who is this person who fears the LORD? He will show him the way he should choose. |
| 13He will experience good things; his descendants will inherit the earth. | 13He will live a good life, 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 secret counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he 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 pull my feet out of the net. |
| 16Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am lonely and oppressed. | 16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am alone and afflicted. |
| 17The troubles of my heart have increased; bring me out of my distress! | 17The distresses of my heart increase; bring me out of my sufferings. |
| 18Look upon my distress and affliction; forgive all my sins. | 18Consider my affliction and trouble, and forgive all my sins. |
| 19Look how many enemies I have gained! They hate me with a vicious hatred. | 19Consider my enemies; they are numerous, and they hate me violently. |
| 20Preserve my life and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, because I take refuge in you. | 20Guard me and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. |
| 21Integrity and justice will preserve me, because I wait on you. | 21May integrity and what is right watch over me, for I wait for you. |
| 22Redeem Israel, God, from all its troubles. | 22God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses. |
