| 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 that 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 Show 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 them that 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 show 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; 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! |
