¹ (24-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for David.> To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.² (24-2) In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.³ (24-3) Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.⁴ (24-4) Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.⁵ (24-5) Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.⁶ (24-6) Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.⁷ (24-7) The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

⁸ (24-8) The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.⁹ (24-9) He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.¹⁰ (24-10) All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.¹¹ (24-11) For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.¹² (24-12) Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.¹³ (24-13) His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land.¹⁴ (24-14) The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.

¹⁵ (24-15) My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.¹⁶ (24-16) Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.¹⁷ (24-17) The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.¹⁸ (24-18) See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.¹⁹ (24-19) Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.²⁰ (24-20) Deep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.²¹ (24-21) The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.²² (24-22) Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
