To You I Lift Up My Soul

1<Of David.> To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.+ 2O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.+ 3Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.+ 4Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.+ 5Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.+ 6O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.+ 7Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.+ 8Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.+ 9He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.+ 10All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.+ 11Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.+ 12If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.+ 13His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.+ 14The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.+ 15My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.+ 16Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.+ 17The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.+ 18Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.+ 19See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.+ 20O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.+ 21For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you.+ 22Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles.+
