✧1By David. To you, LORD, I lift up my soul. ✧2My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me. ✧3Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause. ✧4Show me your ways, LORD. Teach me your paths. ✧5Guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long. ✧6LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times. ✧7Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, LORD. ✧8Good and upright is the LORD, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way. ✧

He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.
✧10All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
✧11For your name’s sake, LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
✧12What man is he who fears the LORD? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
✧13His soul will dwell at ease. His offspring will inherit the land.
✧14The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.
✧15My eyes are ever on the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
✧16Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
✧17The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses.
✧18Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.
✧19Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.
✧20Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
✧21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
