A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD
, do I lift up
my soul
.
O my God, I trust
in thee: let me not be ashamed
, let not mine enemies
triumph
over me.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed
: let them be ashamed
which transgress
without cause
.
Shew me thy ways
, O LORD
; teach
me thy paths
.
Lead me in thy truth
, and teach
me: for thou art the God
of my salvation
; on thee do I wait
all the day
.
Remember, O LORD
, thy tender mercies
and thy lovingkindnesses
; for they have been ever of old
.
Remember not the sins
of my youth
, nor my transgressions
: according to thy mercy
remember
thou me for thy goodness
' sake, O LORD
.
Good and upright
is the LORD
: therefore will he teach
sinners
in the way
.
The meek will he guide
in judgment
: and the meek
will he teach
his way
.
All the paths of the LORD
are mercy
and truth
unto such as keep
his covenant
and his testimonies
.
For thy name's sake, O LORD
, pardon
mine iniquity
; for it is great
.
What man is he that feareth
the LORD
? him shall he teach
in the way
that he shall choose
.
His soul shall dwell
at ease
; and his seed
shall inherit
the earth
.
The secret of the LORD
is with them that fear
him; and he will shew
them his covenant
.
Mine eyes are ever
toward the LORD
; for he shall pluck
my feet
out of the net
.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy
upon me; for I am desolate
and afflicted
.
The troubles of my heart
are enlarged
: O bring thou me out
of my distresses
.
Look upon mine affliction
and my pain
; and forgive
all my sins
.
Consider mine enemies
; for they are many
; and they hate
me with cruel
hatred
.
O keep my soul
, and deliver
me: let me not be ashamed
; for I put my trust
in thee.
Let integrity and uprightness
preserve
me; for I wait
on thee.
Redeem Israel
, O God
, out of all his troubles
.
