1By David. To You, Lord, I lift my soul.
2My God, I have put my trust in You. May I not be put to shame; may my enemies not gloat over me.
3Indeed, may all who hope in You not be put to shame; let those who act treacherously without reason be shamed.
4O Lord, make Your ways known to me; teach me Your paths.
5Train me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; I yearn for You all day.
6O Lord, remember Your mercies and Your kindnesses, for they have existed for all time.
7Do not recall the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; remember me in accordance with Your kindness, because of Your goodness, O Lord.
8Good and upright is the Lord, therefore He directs sinners along the way.
9He guides the humble with justice, and teaches the humble His way.
10All the paths of the Lord are kindness and truth for those who observe His covenant and testimonies.
11For the sake of Your Name, O Lord, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12Whoever is a God-fearing man, him will He teach the path that he should choose.
13His soul will abide in well-being, and his descendants will inherit the earth.
14The secret of the Lord is to those who fear Him; He makes His covenant known to them.
15My eyes are always turned to the Lord, for He releases my feet from the snare.
16Turn to me and be compassionate to me, for I am alone and afflicted.
17The sufferings of my heart have increased; deliver me from my hardships.
18Behold my affliction and suffering, and forgive all my sins.
19See how numerous my enemies have become; they hate me with a violent hatred.
20Guard my soul and deliver me; may I not be put to shame, for I place my trust in You.
21Let integrity and uprightness guard me, for my hope is in You.
22Redeem Israel, O God, from all its afflictions.
