✧Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul; ✧2in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me. ✧3Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced. ✧4Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths. ✧5Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You. ✧6Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age. ✧7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD. ✧8Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way. ✧9He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way. ✧10All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees. ✧11For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great. ✧12Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him. ✧13His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. ✧14The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them. ✧15My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh. ✧16Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted. ✧17The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress. ✧18Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins. ✧19Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred. ✧20Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You. ✧21May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You. ✧22Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
