To You, O Lord, I Lift Up My Soul

1Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

ב

2in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.

ג

3Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.

ד

4Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.

הו

5Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.

ז

6Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.

ח

7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.

ט

8Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.

י

9He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.

כ

10All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.

ל

11For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

מ

12Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.

נ

13His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.

ס

14The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.

ע

15My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.

פ

16Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.

צ

17The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.

ר

18Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.

19Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.

ש

20Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.

ת

21May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.

22Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
