¹Of David.
LORD, I lift up my soul to you. ²My God, I trust in you.
Do not let me be put to shame.
Do not let my enemies brag over me. ³No one who waits for you will ever be put to shame.
But those who turn against others for no reason will be put to shame. ⁴LORD, show me your ways.
Teach me your paths. ⁵Guide me in your truth and teach me.
For you are the God who saves me.
I wait for you all day long. ⁶LORD, remember your kindness and your faithful love.
They have been there from long ago. ⁷Do not remember the sins I did when I was young.
Do not remember the times I rebelled.
Remember me because of your faithful love,
because you are good, LORD. ⁸The LORD is good and does what is right.
So he shows sinners the way to go. ⁹He guides humble people in what is right.
He teaches them his way. ¹⁰All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
to those who keep his covenant and his laws. ¹¹LORD, for the honor of your name,
forgive my sin, for it is great. ¹²Who is the man who fears the LORD?
The LORD will teach him the path he should choose. ¹³He will live a good life.
His children will receive the land. ¹⁴The LORD shares his secrets with those who fear him.
He makes his covenant known to them. ¹⁵My eyes are always on the LORD.
For he will free my feet from the net. ¹⁶Turn to me and be kind to me.
For I am lonely and hurting. ¹⁷The troubles of my heart keep growing.
Set me free from my pain. ¹⁸Look at my suffering and trouble.
Take away all my sins. ¹⁹See how many enemies I have.
See how much they hate me with a cruel hate. ²⁰Guard my soul and rescue me.
Do not let me be put to shame,
for I run to you to be safe. ²¹May being honest and doing right keep me safe,
because I wait for you. ²²O God, redeem Israel
from all its troubles.
