1. [A Psalm] of David. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
2. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me,
3. Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.
4. Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
5. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6. Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.
7. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
8. Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10. All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11. For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it [is] great.
12. What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose.
13. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14. The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
15. My eyes [are] ever towards the LORD; for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16. Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted.
17. The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18. Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19. Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20. O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
