International Standard Version | New Living Translation |
1I will lift up my soul to you, LORD. | 1O LORD, I give my life to you. |
2I trust in you, my God, do not let me be ashamed; do not let my enemies triumph over me. | 2I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat. |
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 trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others. |
4Cause me to understand your ways, LORD; teach me your paths. | 4Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. |
5Guide me in your truth and teach me; for you are the God who delivers me. All day long I have waited for you. | 5Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. |
6Remember, LORD, your tender mercies and your gracious love; indeed, they are eternal! | 6Remember, O LORD, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past. |
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 rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O LORD. |
8The LORD is good and just; therefore he will teach sinners concerning the way. | 8The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. |
9He will guide the humble to justice; he will teach the humble his way. | 9He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. |
10All the paths of the LORD lead to gracious love and truth for those who keep his covenant and his decrees. | 10The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands. |
11For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my sin, for it is great. | 11For the honor of your name, O LORD, forgive my many, many sins. |
12Who is the man who fears the LORD? God will teach him the path he should choose. | 12Who are those who fear the LORD? He will show them the path they should choose. |
13He will experience good things; his descendants will inherit the earth. | 13They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land. |
14The intimate counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him so they may know his covenant. | 14The LORD is a friend to those who fear him. He teaches them his covenant. |
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 rescues me from the traps of my enemies. |
16Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am lonely and oppressed. | 16Turn to me and have mercy, for I am alone and in deep distress. |
17The troubles of my heart have increased; bring me out of my distress! | 17My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all! |
18Look upon my distress and affliction; forgive all my sins. | 18Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins. |
19Look how many enemies I have gained! They hate me with a vicious hatred. | 19See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me! |
20Preserve my life and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, because I take refuge in you. | 20Protect me! Rescue my life from them! Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge. |
21Integrity and justice will preserve me, because I wait on you. | 21May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you. |
22Redeem Israel, God, from all its troubles. | 22O God, ransom Israel from all its troubles. |
