| 1I will lift up my soul to you, LORD. | 1Of David. In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. |
| 2I trust in you, my God, do not let me be ashamed; do not let my enemies triumph over me. | 2I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. |
| 3Indeed, no one who waits on you will be ashamed, but those who offend for no reason will be put to shame. | 3No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause. |
| 4Cause me to understand your ways, LORD; teach me your paths. | 4Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. |
| 5Guide me in your truth and teach me; for you are the God who delivers me. All day long I have waited for you. | 5Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. |
| 6Remember, LORD, your tender mercies and your gracious love; indeed, they are eternal! | 6Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. |
| 7Do not remember my youthful sins and transgressions; but remember me in light of your gracious love, in light of your goodness, LORD. | 7Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good. |
| 8The LORD is good and just; therefore he will teach sinners concerning the way. | 8Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. |
| 9He will guide the humble to justice; he will teach the humble his way. | 9He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. |
| 10All the paths of the LORD lead to gracious love and truth for those who keep his covenant and his decrees. | 10All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant. |
| 11For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my sin, for it is great. | 11For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. |
| 12Who is the man who fears the LORD? God will teach him the path he should choose. | 12Who, then, are those who fear the LORD? He will instruct them in the ways they should choose. |
| 13He will experience good things; his descendants will inherit the earth. | 13They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land. |
| 14The intimate counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him so they may know his covenant. | 14The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. |
| 15My eyes look to the LORD continuously, because he's the one who releases my feet from the trap. | 15My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare. |
| 16Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am lonely and oppressed. | 16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. |
| 17The troubles of my heart have increased; bring me out of my distress! | 17Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. |
| 18Look upon my distress and affliction; forgive all my sins. | 18Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. |
| 19Look how many enemies I have gained! They hate me with a vicious hatred. | 19See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me! |
| 20Preserve my life and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, because I take refuge in you. | 20Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. |
| 21Integrity and justice will preserve me, because I wait on you. | 21May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, LORD, is in you. |
| 22Redeem Israel, God, from all its troubles. | 22Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles! |
