| 1A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. | 1O LORD, I give my life to you. |
| 2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. | 2I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat. |
| 3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. | 3No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others. |
| 4Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. | 4Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. |
| 5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. | 5Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. |
| 6Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. | 6Remember, O LORD, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past. |
| 7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. | 7Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O LORD. |
| 8Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. | 8The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. |
| 9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. | 9He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. |
| 10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. | 10The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands. |
| 11For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. | 11For the honor of your name, O LORD, forgive my many, many sins. |
| 12What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. | 12Who are those who fear the LORD? He will show them the path they should choose. |
| 13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. | 13They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land. |
| 14The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. | 14The LORD is a friend to those who fear him. He teaches them his covenant. |
| 15Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. | 15My eyes are always on the LORD, for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies. |
| 16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. | 16Turn to me and have mercy, for I am alone and in deep distress. |
| 17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. | 17My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all! |
| 18Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. | 18Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins. |
| 19Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. | 19See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me! |
| 20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. | 20Protect me! Rescue my life from them! Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge. |
| 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. | 21May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you. |
| 22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. | 22O God, ransom Israel from all its troubles. |
