| 1[i]A Psalm[/i] of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. | 1O LORD, I give my life to you. |
| 2O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. | 2I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat. |
| 3Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. | 3No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others. |
| 4Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. | 4Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. |
| 5Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You 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, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. | 6Remember, O LORD, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past. |
| 7Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your 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 He teaches sinners in the way. | 8The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. |
| 9The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way. | 9He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. |
| 10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, To 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 Your name’s sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. | 11For the honor of your name, O LORD, forgive my many, many sins. |
| 12Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. | 12Who are those who fear the LORD? He will show them the path they should choose. |
| 13He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth. | 13They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land. |
| 14The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. | 14The LORD is a friend to those who fear him. He teaches them his covenant. |
| 15My 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 Yourself to me, and have mercy on 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 have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses! | 17My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all! |
| 18Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins. | 18Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins. |
| 19Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. | 19See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me! |
| 20Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. | 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 for You. | 21May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you. |
| 22Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles! | 22O God, ransom Israel from all its troubles. |
