New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
|
1 To you, O LORD, 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.
|
2 in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
|
|
3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed : let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
|
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 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
|
4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your 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.
|
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 , O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
|
6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
|
|
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
|
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 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
|
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
|
|
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
|
9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.
|
|
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
|
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant.
|
|
11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
|
11 For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
|
|
12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose .
|
12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.
|
|
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
|
13 He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
|
|
14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
|
14 The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.
|
|
15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
|
15 My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.
|
|
16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
|
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
|
|
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged : O bring thou me out of my distresses.
|
17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish.
|
|
18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
|
18 Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.
|
|
19 Consider mine enemies ; for they are many ; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
|
19 See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me!
|
|
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed ; for I put my trust in thee.
|
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; for I wait on thee.
|
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.
|
|
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
|
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
