To You I Lift Up My Soul

¹To you, LORD, I lift up my soul.+ ²My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.+ ³Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.+ ⁴Show me your ways, LORD. Teach me your paths.+ ⁵Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long.+ ⁶LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.+ ⁷Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, LORD.+ ⁸Good and upright is the LORD, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.+ ⁹He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.+ ¹⁰All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.+ ¹¹For your name’s sake, LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.+ ¹²What man is he who fears the LORD? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.+ ¹³His soul will dwell at ease. His offspring will inherit the land.+ ¹⁴The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.+ ¹⁵My eyes are ever on the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.+ ¹⁶Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.+ ¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses.+ ¹⁸Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.+ ¹⁹Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.+ ²⁰Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.+ ²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.+ ²²God, redeem Israel out of all his troubles.+
