¹ To you, O Lord, I ^(a)lift up my soul.
² O my God, in you I ^(b)trust;
    ^(c)let me not be put to shame;

^4 (h)Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.

⁶ Remember your ^(j)mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
    ^(k)for they have been from of old.
⁷ Remember not ^(l)the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
    according to your ^(m)steadfast love remember me,
    for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

    and his ^(u)offspring ^(v)shall inherit the land.
^14 (w)The friendship^[b] of the Lord is for those who fear him,
    and he makes known to them his covenant.

    out of all his troubles.
