| 1A Psalm of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. | 1I will lift up my soul to you, LORD. |
| 2O my God, in You I trust, Do not let me be ashamed; Do not let my enemies exult over me. | 2I trust in you, my God, do not let me be ashamed; do not let my enemies triumph over me. |
| 3Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed; Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed. | 3Indeed, no one who waits on you will be ashamed, but those who offend for no reason will be put to shame. |
| 4Make me know Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. | 4Cause me to understand your ways, LORD; teach me your paths. |
| 5Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You I wait all the day. | 5Guide me in your truth and teach me; for you are the God who delivers me. All day long I have waited for you. |
| 6Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses, For they have been from of old. | 6Remember, LORD, your tender mercies and your gracious love; indeed, they are eternal! |
| 7Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; According to Your lovingkindness remember me, For Your goodness' sake, O LORD. | 7Do not remember my youthful sins and transgressions; but remember me in light of your gracious love, in light of your goodness, LORD. |
| 8Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He instructs sinners in the way. | 8The LORD is good and just; therefore he will teach sinners concerning the way. |
| 9He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble His way. | 9He will guide the humble to justice; he will teach the humble his way. |
| 10All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and truth To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. | 10All the paths of the LORD lead to gracious love and truth for those who keep his covenant and his decrees. |
| 11For Your name's sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. | 11For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my sin, for it is great. |
| 12Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. | 12Who is the man who fears the LORD? God will teach him the path he should choose. |
| 13His soul will abide in prosperity, And his descendants will inherit the land. | 13He will experience good things; his descendants will inherit the earth. |
| 14The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant. | 14The intimate counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him so they may know his covenant. |
| 15My eyes are continually toward the LORD, For He will pluck my feet out of the net. | 15My eyes look to the LORD continuously, because he's the one who releases my feet from the trap. |
| 16Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afflicted. | 16Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am lonely and oppressed. |
| 17The troubles of my heart are enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses. | 17The troubles of my heart have increased; bring me out of my distress! |
| 18Look upon my affliction and my trouble, And forgive all my sins. | 18Look upon my distress and affliction; forgive all my sins. |
| 19Look upon my enemies, for they are many, And they hate me with violent hatred. | 19Look how many enemies I have gained! They hate me with a vicious hatred. |
| 20Guard my soul and deliver me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You. | 20Preserve my life and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, because I take refuge in you. |
| 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. | 21Integrity and justice will preserve me, because I wait on you. |
| 22Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all his troubles. | 22Redeem Israel, God, from all its troubles. |
