1Of David Unto thee, (O LORD) I lift up my soul.
2My God, I trust in thee: Oh let me not be confounded, lest mine enemies triumph over me.
3For all they that hope in thee shall not be ashamed: but such as be scornful dispisers without a cause, they shall be put to confusion.
4Shew me thy ways, O LORD, and teach me thy paths.
5Lead me in thy truth, and learn me, for thou art the God of my health, and in thee is my hope all the day long.
6Call to remembrance, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses, which have been ever of old.
7Oh remember not the sins and offenses of my youth, but according unto thy mercy think upon me, O LORD, for thy goodness.
8O how friendly and righteous is the LORD, therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9He leadeth the simple a right, and such as be meek them learneth he his ways.
10All the ways of the LORD are mercy and faithfulness, unto such as keep his testament and covenant.
11For thy name's sake, O LORD, be merciful unto my sin, for it is great.
12Whatsoever he be that feareth the LORD, he shall shew him the way that he hath chosen.
13His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall possess the land.
14The secret of the LORD is among them that fear him, and he sheweth them his covenant.
15Mine eyes are ever looking unto the LORD, for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16Turn thee unto me and have mercy upon me, for I am desolate and in misery.
17The sorrows of my heart, are great, O bring me out of my troubles.
18Look upon mine adversity and misery, and forgive me all my sins.
19Consider how mine enemies are many, and bear a malicious hate against me.
20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be confounded, for I have put my trust in thee.
21Let innocency and righteous dealing wait upon me, for my hope is in thee.
22Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his trouble.
