[1] UNTO thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
[2] O my God, I trust in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
[3] Yea, let none that trust in thee be ashamed; let the wicked be ashamed with their vanity.
[4] Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
[5] Lead me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art my God and my Saviour; on thee do I wait all the day.
[6] Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they are from the beginning of the world.
[7] Remember not the foolishness of my youth, but according to thine abundant mercy remember thou me because of thy goodness' sake, O God.
[8] Good and upright is the LORD; therefore will he direct sinners in the way.
[9] He will guide the meek in judgment, and he will teach the poor 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, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
[12] What man is he that fears the LORD? Him shall he teach in the way that he has chosen.
[13] His soul shall abide with grace, and his offspring shall inherit the earth.
[14] The LORD is mindful of them that worship him, and he will show them his covenant.
[15] My eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he will release my feet out of the net.
[16] Turn thou unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am the only son and destitute.
[17] The troubles of my heart are multiplied; O bring thou me out of my distresses.
[18] Look upon my affliction and my labor; and forgive all my sins.
[19] Consider my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with an unjust hatred.
[20] O keep my soul, and deliver me, because I have trusted in thee.
[21] The innocent and the upright have followed me because I have trusted in thee.
[22] God has saved Israel from all of his oppressors.
