[1] To you, Yahweh, do I lift up my soul.

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

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

[4] Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

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

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

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

[8] Good and upright is Yahweh, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

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

[10] All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

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

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

[13] His soul shall dwell at ease. His offspring shall inherit the land.

[14] The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[22] Redeem Israel, God, out all of his troubles.
