1To YouH413, O LORDH3068, I liftH5375 up my soulH5315;2in You, my GodH430, I trustH982.Do not let meH408 be put to shameH954;do not letH408 my enemiesH341 exultH5970 over me.3SurelyH1571 H3605 noneH3808 who wait for YouH6960 will be put to shameH954;but those who engage in treacheryH898 without causeH7387 will be disgracedH954.

4Show meH3045 Your waysH1870, O LORDH3068;teach meH3925 Your pathsH734.5Guide meH1869 in Your truthH571 and teach meH3925,forH3588 YouH859 are the GodH430 of my salvationH3468;allH3605 day longH3117 I waitH6960 for YouH853.6RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, Your compassionH7356 and loving devotionH2617,forH3588 theyH1992 are from age to ageH5769.7RememberH2142 notH408 the sinsH2403 of my youthH5271,nor my rebellious actsH6588;remember meH2142 according to Your loving devotionH2617 H859,because ofH4616 Your goodnessH2898, O LORDH3068.

8GoodH2896 and uprightH3477 is the LORDH3068;thereforeH5921 H3651 He showsH3384 sinnersH2400 the wayH1870.9He guidesH1869 the humbleH6035 in what is rightH4941and teachesH3925 themH6035 His wayH1870.10AllH3605 the LORD’sH3068 waysH734 are loving and faithfulH2617 H571to those who keepH5341 His covenantH1285 and His decreesH5713.11For the sake ofH4616 Your nameH8034, O LORDH3068,forgiveH5545 my iniquityH5771, forH3588 itH1931 is greatH7227.

12WhoH4310 H2088 is the manH376 who fearsH3373 the LORDH3068?He will instruct himH3384 in the pathH1870 chosenH977 for him.13His soulH5315 will dwellH3885 in prosperityH2896,and his descendantsH2233 will inheritH3423 the landH776.14The LORDH3068 confidesH5475 in those who fear HimH3373,and revealsH3045 His covenant to themH1285.15My eyesH5869 are alwaysH8548 onH413 the LORDH3068,forH3588 HeH1931 will freeH3318 my feetH7272 from the meshH7568.

16TurnH6437 to meH413 and be graciousH2603,forH3588 IH589 am lonelyH3173 and afflictedH6041.17The troublesH6869 of my heartH3824 increaseH7337;free meH3318 from my distressH4691.18ConsiderH7200 my afflictionH6040 and troubleH5999,and take awayH5375 allH3605 my sinsH2403.19ConsiderH7200 my enemiesH341, forH3588 they are manyH7231,and they hate meH8135 with viciousH2555 hatredH8130.

20GuardH8104 my soulH5315 and deliver meH5337;let me notH408 be put to shameH954,forH3588 I take refugeH2620 in You.21May integrityH8537 and uprightnessH3476 preserve meH5341,becauseH3588 I wait for YouH6960.1

22RedeemH6299 IsraelH3478, O GodH430 ,from allH3605 its distressH6869.
