King James Version KJV
1 By David: I lift my inner being to you, ADONAI;
1
Unto thee, O LORD, do 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
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 No one waiting for you will be disgraced; disgrace awaits those who break faith for no reason.
3
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 Make me know your ways, ADONAI, teach me your paths.
4
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy 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
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 your compassion and grace, ADONAI; for these are ages old.
6
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever 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, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, 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 will he teach sinners in the way.
9 leads the humble to do what is right and teaches the humble [to live] his way.
9
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All ADONAI's paths are grace and truth to those who keep his covenant and instructions.
10
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For the sake of your name, ADONAI, forgive my wickedness, great though it is.
11
For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 Who is the person who fears ADONAI? He will teach him the way to choose.
12
What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 He will remain prosperous, and his descendants will inherit the land.
13
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 ADONAI relates intimately with those who fear him; he makes them know his covenant.
14
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15 My eyes are always directed toward ADONAI, for he will free my feet from the net.
15
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn to me, and show me your favor; for I am alone and oppressed.
16
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are growing and growing; bring me out of my distress.
17
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18 See my affliction and suffering, and take all my sins away.
18
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, how many there are and how cruelly they hate me.
19
Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Protect me and rescue me; don't let me be disgraced, for I take refuge in you.
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, because my hope is in you.
21
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22 God! Redeem Isra'el from all their troubles!
22
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
