To You I Lift Up My Soul

¹To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;+ ²in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.+ ³Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.+ ⁴Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.+ ⁵Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.+ ⁶Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.+ ⁷Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.+ ⁸Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.+ ⁹He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.+ ¹⁰All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.+ ¹¹For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.+ ¹²Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.+ ¹³His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.+ ¹⁴The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.+ ¹⁵My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.+ ¹⁶Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.+ ¹⁷The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.+ ¹⁸Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.+ ¹⁹Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.+ ²⁰Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.+ ²¹May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.+ ²²Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.+
