The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New King James Version NKJV
1 By David: I lift my inner being to you, ADONAI;
1
A Psalm of David. 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
O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one waiting for you will be disgraced; disgrace awaits those who break faith for no reason.
3
Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.
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
Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.
6 Remember your compassion and grace, ADONAI; for these are ages old.
6
Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, 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
Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your 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 He teaches sinners in the way.
9 leads the humble to do what is right and teaches the humble [to live] his way.
9
The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches 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, To 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 Your name's sake, O Lord, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Who is the person who fears ADONAI? He will teach him the way to choose.
12
Who is the man that fears the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.
13 He will remain prosperous, and his descendants will inherit the land.
13
He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants 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 those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.
15 My eyes are always directed toward ADONAI, for he will free my feet from the net.
15
My 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 Yourself to me, and have mercy on 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 have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses!
18 See my affliction and suffering, and take all my sins away.
18
Look on my 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 my 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
Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because my hope is in you.
21
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You.
22 God! Redeem Isra'el from all their troubles!
22
Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles!
