1. |
By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up. |
2. |
My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me. |
3. |
Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed. |
4. |
Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me. |
5. |
Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou `art' the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day. |
6. |
Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age `are' they. |
7. |
Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah. |
8. |
Good and upright `is' Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way. |
9. |
He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way. |
10. |
All the paths of Jehovah `are' kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies. |
11. |
For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it `is' great. |
12. |
Who `is' this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose. |
13. |
His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land. |
14. |
The secret of Jehovah `is' for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know. |
15. |
Mine eyes `are' continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet. |
16. |
Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted `am' I. |
17. |
The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out. |
18. |
See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins. |
19. |
See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me. |
20. |
Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee. |
21. |
Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited `on' Thee. |
22. |
Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses! |
