¹ [A Psalm] of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.² O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.³ Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.⁴ Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.⁵ Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; for Thou art the God of my salvation; ⁶ Remember, O LORD, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; for they have been from of old.⁷ Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;

⁸ Good and upright is the LORD; therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.⁹ He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way.¹⁰ All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.¹¹ For Thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.¹² What man is he that feareth the LORD? him will He instruct in the way that He should choose.¹³ His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land.¹⁴ The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it.

¹⁵ Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net.¹⁶ Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.¹⁷ The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.¹⁸ See mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins.¹⁹ Consider how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me.²⁰ O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.²¹ Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee.²² Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
