1 LORD, I lift my soul to you,
2 O my God, I trust your might;
let not foes exult o’er me,
shame me not before their sight.
3 Truly none who wait for you
will be ever put to shame;
those who wantonly betray,
they will ever be ashamed.
4 Make me know your ways, O LORD;
in your path lead me in truth.
5 You are God, my Savior true,
all the day I wait for you.
6 LORD, remember in your love
all your mercies from of old.
7 But remember not my sin,
for your goodness’ sake, O LORD!
8 Good and upright is the LORD;
he instructs all those who stray.
9 All the meek he leads aright,
he will teach his holy way.
10 All his paths are steadfast love,
he is faithful in his ways,
for all those who keep his word
and his covenant obey.
11 For the sake of your own name,
LORD, forgive my guilt, though great.
12 Who are they who fear the LORD?
God will teach them all his ways.
13 In well-being they abide,
their children receive the land.
14 The LORD loves those who fear him,
makes them know his covenant.
15 To the LORD I turn my eyes;
from all snares he plucks my feet.
16 Show your grace and turn to me;
I am lonely and afraid.
17 All my troubles are enlarged,
give relief from my distress.
18 See my deep afflictions, LORD,
and forgive my sinfulness.
19 See how many are my foes,
see the violence of their hate.
20 Guard my soul! Deliver me!
Let me not be put to shame,
21 since I wait for you, O LORD.
May my uprightness prevail.
22 From its troubles, gracious God,
O redeem your Israel.
