To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; my God, I put my trust in you; *
let me not be humiliated, nor let my enemies triumph over me. - 2
Let none who look to you be put to shame; *
let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes. - 3
Show me your ways, O LORD, *
and teach me your paths. - 4
Lead me in your truth and teach me, *
for you are the God of my salvation; in you have I trusted all the day long. - 5
Remember, O LORD, your compassion and love, *
for they are from everlasting. - 6
Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions; *
remember me according to your love and for the sake of your goodness, O LORD. - 7
Gracious and upright is the LORD; *
 therefore he teaches sinners in his way. - 8
He guides the humble in doing right *
and teaches his way to the lowly. - 9
All the paths of the LORD are love and faithfulness *
to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. - 10
For your Name's sake, O LORD, *
forgive my sin, for it is great. - 11
Who are they who fear the LORD? *
he will teach them the way that they should choose. - 12
They shall dwell in prosperity, *
and their offspring shall inherit the land. - 13
The LORD is a friend to those who fear him *
and will show them his covenant. - 14
My eyes are ever looking to the LORD, *
for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. - 15
Turn to me and have pity on me, *
for I am left alone and in misery. - 16
The sorrows of my heart have increased; *
bring me out of my troubles. - 17
Look upon my adversity and misery *
and forgive me all my sin. - 18
Look upon my enemies, for they are many, *
and they bear a violent hatred against me. - 19
Protect my life and deliver me; *
let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in you. - 20
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, *
for my hope has been in you. - 21
Deliver Israel, O God, *
out of all his troubles.
