To You I Lift Up My Soul

¹Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.+ ²O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.+ ³Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.+ ⁴Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.+ ⁵Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.+ ⁶Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.+ ⁷Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.+ ⁸Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.+ ⁹The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.+ ¹⁰All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.+ ¹¹For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.+ ¹²What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.+ ¹³His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.+ ¹⁴The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.+ ¹⁵Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall 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: O bring thou me out of my distresses.+ ¹⁸Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.+ ¹⁹Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.+ ²⁰O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.+ ²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.+ ²²Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.+
