1  ^vTo you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

2  ^wO my God, in you I trust;

let me not be put to shame;

let not my enemies exult over me.

3  Indeed, ^xnone who ^ywait for you shall be ^zput to shame;

they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

4  ^aMake me to know your ways, O Lord;

teach me your paths.

5  Lead me ^bin your truth and teach me,

for you are the God of my salvation;

for you I wait all the day long.

6  Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,

for they have been from of old.

7  ^cRemember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;

^daccording to your steadfast love remember me,

^efor the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

8  Good and upright is the Lord;

therefore he instructs sinners in the way.

9  He leads the humble in what is right,

and teaches the humble his way.

10  All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,

for those who ^fkeep his covenant and his testimonies.

11  ^gFor your name’s sake, O Lord,

^hpardon my guilt, for it is great.

12  Who is the man who fears the Lord?

Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.

13  His soul shall abide in well-being,

and ⁱhis offspring shall inherit the land.

14  The ^jfriendship² of the Lord is for those who fear him,

and he makes known to them his covenant.

15  My eyes are ever toward the Lord,

for ^khe will pluck my feet out of the net.

16  ^lTurn to me and be gracious to me,

^mfor I am lonely and afflicted.

17  The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

18  Consider my affliction and my trouble,

and forgive all my sins.

19  Consider how many are my foes,

and with what violent hatred they hate me.

20  Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!

Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

21  May integrity and uprightness preserve me,

for I wait for you.

22  ⁿRedeem Israel, O God,

out of all his troubles.
