1 | Unto the end. A Psalm of David. To you, Lord, I have lifted up my soul. |
2 | In you, my God, I trust. Let me not be put to shame. |
3 | And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded. |
4 | May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths. |
5 | Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Saviour, and I remain with you all day long. |
6 | O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past. |
7 | Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, O Lord. |
8 | The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way. |
9 | He will direct the mild in judgment. He will teach the meek his ways. |
10 | All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to those who yearn for his covenant and his testimonies. |
11 | Because of your name, O Lord, you will pardon my sin, for it is great. |
12 | Which is the man who fears the Lord? He has established a law for him, on the way that he has chosen. |
13 | His soul will dwell upon good things, and his offspring will inherit the earth. |
14 | The Lord is a firmament to those who fear him, and his covenant will be made manifest to them. |
15 | My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pull my feet from the snare. |
16 | Look upon me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor. |
17 | The troubles of my heart have been multiplied. Deliver me from my needfulness. |
18 | See my lowliness and my hardship, and release all my offenses. |
19 | Consider my enemies, for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with an unjust hatred. |
20 | Preserve my soul and rescue me. I will not be ashamed, for I have hoped in you. |
21 | The innocent and the righteous have adhered to me, because I have remained with you. |
22 | Free Israel, O God, from all his tribulations. |
