To You I Lift Up My Soul

1Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.+ 2O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.+ 3Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.+ 4Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.+ 5Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.+ 6Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old.+ 7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness’ sake, O Jehovah.+ 8Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.+ 9The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.+ 10All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.+ 11For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.+ 12What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.+ 13His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.+ 14The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant.+ 15Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.+ 16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted.+ 17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.+ 18Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.+ 19Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.+ 20Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.+ 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee.+ 22Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all his troubles.+
