Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 O LORD, I give my life to you.
1
By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.
2 I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
2
My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.
3 No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
3
Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
4 Show me the right path, O LORD ; point out the road for me to follow.
4
Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.
5 Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
5
Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou [art] the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.
6 Remember, O LORD, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past.
6
Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.
7 Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O LORD .
7
Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.
8 The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray.
8
Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.
9 He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way.
9
He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
10 The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.
10
All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
11 For the honor of your name, O LORD, forgive my many, many sins.
11
For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.
12 Who are those who fear the LORD ? He will show them the path they should choose.
12
Who [is] this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.
13 They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land.
13
His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.
14 The LORD is a friend to those who fear him. He teaches them his covenant.
14
The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know.
15 My eyes are always on the LORD, for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.
15
Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.
16 Turn to me and have mercy, for I am alone and in deep distress.
16
Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.
17 My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all!
17
The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.
18 Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins.
18
See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
19 See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me!
19
See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.
20 Protect me! Rescue my life from them! Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge.
20
Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.
21 May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.
21
Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.
22 O God, ransom Israel from all its troubles.
22
Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
