1
|
To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
|
2
|
In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
|
3
|
Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
|
4
|
Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.
|
5
|
Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.
|
6
|
Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
|
7
|
The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
|
8
|
The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.
|
9
|
He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.
|
10
|
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.
|
11
|
For thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.
|
12
|
Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.
|
13
|
His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land.
|
14
|
The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.
|
15
|
My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.
|
16
|
Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
|
17
|
The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.
|
18
|
See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.
|
19
|
Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.
|
20
|
Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.
|
21
|
The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.
|
22
|
Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
