[[A Psalm Chapter of David.]]
[1] Unto thee, O Lord, lift I up my soul.
[2] My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies rejoice over me.
[3] So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgress without cause.
[4] Show me thy ways, O Lord, and teach me thy paths.
[5] Lead me forth in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation: in thee do I trust all the day.
[6] Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy loving kindness: for they have been forever.
[7] Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindness remember thou me, even for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
[8] Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
[9] Them that be meek, will he guide in judgment, and teach the humble his way.
[10] All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
[11] For thy Name's sake, O Lord, be merciful unto mine iniquity, for it is great.
[12] What man is he that feareth the Lord? Him will he teach the way that he shall choose.
[13] His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall inherit the land.
[14] The secret of the Lord is revealed to them, that fear him: and his covenant to give them understanding.
[15] Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord: for he will bring my feet out of the net.
[16] Turn thy face unto me, and have mercy upon me: for I am desolate and poor.
[17] The sorrows of mine heart are enlarged: draw me out of my troubles.
[18] Look upon mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
[19] Behold mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with cruel hatred.
[20] Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be confounded, for I trust in thee.
[21] Let mine uprightness and equity preserve me: for mine hope is in thee.
[22] Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
