A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up# my soul.
|
|
|
|
2
|
O my God, I trust# in thee: let me not be ashamed# , let not mine enemies# triumph# over me.
|
|
|
|
3
|
Yea, let none that wait# on thee be ashamed# : let them be ashamed# which transgress# without cause.
|
|
|
|
4
|
Shew# me thy ways, O LORD; teach# me thy paths.
|
|
|
|
5
|
Lead# me in thy truth, and teach# me: for thou
art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait# all the day.
|
|
|
|
6
|
Remember# , O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they
have been ever of old.
[tender...: Heb. bowels]
|
|
|
|
7
|
Remember# not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember# thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
|
|
|
|
8
|
Good and upright
is the LORD: therefore will he teach# sinners in the way.
|
|
|
|
9
|
The meek will he guide# in judgment: and the meek will he teach# his way.
|
|
|
|
10
|
All the paths of the LORD
are mercy and truth unto such as keep# his covenant and his testimonies.
|
|
|
|
11
|
For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon# mine iniquity; for it
is great.
|
|
|
|
12
|
What man
is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach# in the way
that he shall choose# .
|
|
|
|
13
|
His soul shall dwell# at ease; and his seed shall inherit# the earth.
[dwell...: Heb. lodge in goodness]
|
|
|
|
14
|
The secret of the LORD
is with them that fear him; and he will shew# them his covenant.
[and...: or, and his covenant to make them know it]
|
|
|
|
15
|
Mine eyes
are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck# my feet out of the net.
[pluck: Heb. bring forth]
|
|
|
|
16
|
Turn# thee unto me, and have mercy# upon me; for I
am desolate and afflicted.
|
|
|
|
17
|
The troubles of my heart are enlarged# :
O bring thou me out# of my distresses.
|
|
|
|
18
|
Look# upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive# all my sins.
|
|
|
|
19
|
Consider# mine enemies# ; for they are many# ; and they hate# me with cruel hatred.
[cruel...: Heb. hatred of violence]
|
|
|
|
20
|
O keep# my soul, and deliver# me: let me not be ashamed# ; for I put my trust# in thee.
|
|
|
|
21
|
Let integrity and uprightness preserve# me; for I wait# on thee.
|
|
|
|
22
|
Redeem# Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
