Psalms

By David.

1To you, LORD, I lift up my soul.

2My God, I have trusted in you.Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.

3Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed.They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

4Show me your ways, LORD.Teach me your paths.

5Guide me in your truth, and teach me,for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long.

6LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness,for they are from old times.

7Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, LORD.

8Good and upright is the LORD,therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

9He will guide the humble in justice.He will teach the humble his way.

10All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truthto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11For your name’s sake, LORD,pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

12What man is he who fears the LORD?He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

13His soul will dwell at ease.His offspring will inherit the land.

14The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him.He will show them his covenant.

15My eyes are ever on the LORD,for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

16Turn to me, and have mercy on me,for I am desolate and afflicted.

17The troubles of my heart are enlarged.Oh bring me out of my distresses.

18Consider my affliction and my travail.Forgive all my sins.

19Consider my enemies, for they are many.They hate me with cruel hatred.

20Oh keep my soul, and deliver me.Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.

21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,for I wait for you.

22God, redeem Israelout of all his troubles.

Of David.

1To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

2in You, my God, I trust.Do not let me be put to shame;do not let my enemies exult over me.

3Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame;but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.

4Show me Your ways, O LORD;teach me Your paths.

5Guide me in Your truth and teach me,for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.

6Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion,for they are from age to age.

7Remember not the sins of my youth,nor my rebellious acts;remember me according to Your loving devotion,because of Your goodness, O LORD.

8Good and upright is the LORD;therefore He shows sinners the way.

9He guides the humble in what is rightand teaches them His way.

10All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithfulto those who keep His covenant and His decrees.

11For the sake of Your name, O LORD,forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

12Who is the man who fears the LORD?He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.

13His soul will dwell in prosperity,and his descendants will inherit the land.

14The LORD confides in those who fear Him,and reveals His covenant to them.

15My eyes are always on the LORD,for He will free my feet from the mesh.

16Turn to me and be gracious,for I am lonely and afflicted.

17The troubles of my heart increase;free me from my distress.

18Consider my affliction and trouble,and take away all my sins.

19Consider my enemies, for they are many,and they hate me with vicious hatred.

20Guard my soul and deliver me;let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.

21May integrity and uprightness preserve me,because I wait for You.

22Redeem Israel, O God,from all its distress.
