1A Psalm of David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
1Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
2O my God, I have trusted in thee: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.
2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3For none of them that wait on thee shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4Shew me thy ways, O Lord; and teach me thy paths.
4Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art God my Saviour: and I have waited on thee all the day.
5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6Remember thy compassions, O Lord, and thy mercies, for they are from everlasting.
6Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to thy mercy, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
8Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.

9The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.

10All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.
10All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11For thy name's sake, O Lord, do thou also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.
11For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.
12What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.
14The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.
15Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.
16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.
17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.

20Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in thee.
20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for thee, O Lord.
21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
