To You I Lift Up My Soul
251By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.+2My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.+3Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.+4Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.+5Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou art the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.+6Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age are they.+7Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.+8Good and upright is Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.+9He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.+10All the paths of Jehovah are kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.+11For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it is great.+12Who is this--the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.+13His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.+14The secret of Jehovah is for those fearing Him, And His covenant--to cause them to know.+15Mine eyes are continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.+16Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted am I.+17The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.+18See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.+19See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.+20Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.+21Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited on Thee.+22Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!+
