| 1[i]A Psalm[/i] of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. | 1Of David. In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. |
| 2O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. | 2I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. |
| 3Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. | 3No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause. |
| 4Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. | 4Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. |
| 5Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day. | 5Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. |
| 6Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. | 6Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. |
| 7Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD. | 7Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good. |
| 8Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way. | 8Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. |
| 9The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way. | 9He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. |
| 10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. | 10All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant. |
| 11For Your name’s sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. | 11For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. |
| 12Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. | 12Who, then, are those who fear the LORD? He will instruct them in the ways they should choose. |
| 13He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth. | 13They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land. |
| 14The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. | 14The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. |
| 15My eyes are ever toward the LORD, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. | 15My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare. |
| 16Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted. | 16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. |
| 17The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses! | 17Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. |
| 18Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins. | 18Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. |
| 19Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. | 19See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me! |
| 20Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. | 20Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. |
| 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. | 21May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, LORD, is in you. |
| 22Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles! | 22Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles! |
