1 By David: I lift my inner being to you, ADONAI;
|
1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
|
|
2 I trust you, my God. Don't let me be disgraced, don't let my enemies gloat over me.
|
2 in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
|
|
3 No one waiting for you will be disgraced; disgrace awaits those who break faith for no reason.
|
3 No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.
|
|
4 Make me know your ways, ADONAI, teach me your paths.
|
4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;
|
|
5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me; for you are the God who saves me, my hope is in you all day long.
|
5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
|
|
6 Remember your compassion and grace, ADONAI; for these are ages old.
|
6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
|
|
7 Don't remember my youthful sins or transgressions; but remember me according to your grace for the sake of your goodness, ADONAI.
|
7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD.
|
|
8 ADONAI is good, and he is fair; this is why he teaches sinners the way [to live],
|
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
|
|
9 leads the humble to do what is right and teaches the humble [to live] his way.
|
9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.
|
|
10 All ADONAI's paths are grace and truth to those who keep his covenant and instructions.
|
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant.
|
|
11 For the sake of your name, ADONAI, forgive my wickedness, great though it is.
|
11 For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
|
|
12 Who is the person who fears ADONAI? He will teach him the way to choose.
|
12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.
|
|
13 He will remain prosperous, and his descendants will inherit the land.
|
13 He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
|
|
14 ADONAI relates intimately with those who fear him; he makes them know his covenant.
|
14 The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.
|
|
15 My eyes are always directed toward ADONAI, for he will free my feet from the net.
|
15 My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.
|
|
16 Turn to me, and show me your favor; for I am alone and oppressed.
|
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
|
|
17 The troubles of my heart are growing and growing; bring me out of my distress.
|
17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish.
|
|
18 See my affliction and suffering, and take all my sins away.
|
18 Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.
|
|
19 Consider my enemies, how many there are and how cruelly they hate me.
|
19 See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me!
|
|
20 Protect me and rescue me; don't let me be disgraced, for I take refuge in you.
|
20 Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
|
|
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because my hope is in you.
|
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.
|
|
22 God! Redeem Isra'el from all their troubles!
|
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
