[1] To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
[2] O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me.
[3] Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
[4] Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.
[5] Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
[6] Remember your mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.
[7] Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O LORD!
[8] Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
[9] He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.
[10] All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
[11] For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon my guilt, for it is great.
[12] Who is the man who fears the LORD? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
[13] His soul shall abide in well-being, and his offspring shall inherit the land.
[14] The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.
[15] My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
[16] Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
[17] The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses.
[18] Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins.
[19] Consider how many are my foes, and with what violent hatred they hate me.
[20] Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
[21] May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
[22] Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
