[A Psalm] of David.

1 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait 
all the day.

6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of 
old.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou 
me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

8 Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his 
testimonies.

11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it [is] great.

12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

15 Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O] bring thou me out of my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
