1 To You, O Lord, I alift up my soul.2O my God, in You bI trust,
Do not let me cbe ashamed;
Do not let my denemies exult over me.
3Indeed, enone of those who wait for You will be ashamed;
▼
▼ Or Let those...be ashamed
Those who gdeal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.4 hMake me know Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
5Lead me in iYour truth and teach me,
For You are the jGod of my salvation;
For You I kwait all the day.
6 lRemember, O Lord, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they have been ▼
▼ Or everlasting
,
nfrom of old.7Do not remember the osins of my youth or my transgressions;
pAccording to Your lovingkindness remember me,
For Your qgoodness’ sake, O Lord.
8 rGood and supright is the Lord;
Therefore He tinstructs sinners in the way.
9He uleads the ▼
▼ Or afflicted

For He will ▼
▼ Lit bring out
,

For I am arlonely and afflicted.

▼ Some commentators read Relieve the troubles of my heart
The attroubles of my heart are enlarged;Bring me auout of my distresses.
18 avLook upon my affliction and my ▼
▼ Lit toil

19Look upon my enemies, for they ayare many,
And they azhate me with violent hatred.
20 baGuard my soul and deliver me;
Do not let me bbbe ashamed, for I take refuge in You.
21Let bcintegrity and uprightness preserve me,
For bdI wait for You.
