[1] Of David. To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up. [2] O my God, I have
put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying
over me. [3] Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed
who are false without cause. [4] Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give
me knowledge of your ways. [5] Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for
you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.
[6] O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been
from the earliest times. [7] Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young,
or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because
of your righteousness. [8] Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the
teacher of sinners in the way. [9] He will be an upright guide to the poor
in spirit: he will make his way clear to them. [10] All the ways of the
Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his
witness. [11] Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my
sin, which is very great. [12] If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord
will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure. [13] His soul will be full
of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage. [14] The
secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he
will make his agreement clear to them. [15] My eyes are turned to the Lord
at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net. [16] Be turned to
me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper. [17] The
troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows. [18] Give
thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins. [19] See how
those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.
[20] O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I
have put my faith in you. [21] For my clean and upright ways keep me safe,
because my hope is in you. [22] Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all
his troubles.
