By David.
To you, YHWH, I lift up my soul. My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me. Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.Show me your ways, YHWH. Teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long. YHWH, remember your tender mercies and your lovingkindness, for they are from old times. Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your lovingkindness, for your goodness’ sake, YHWH. Good and upright is YHWH, therefore ʜᴇ will instruct sinners in the way. Hᴇ will guide the humble in justice. Hᴇ will teach the humble ʜɪꜱ way. All the paths of YHWH are lovingkindness and truth to such as keep ʜɪꜱ covenant and ʜɪꜱ testimonies. For your name’s sake, YHWH, pardon my iniquity, for it is great. Who is the person who fears YHWH? Hᴇ will instruct them in the way they should choose. Their soul will dwell at ease. Their descendants will inherit the land. The friendship of YHWH is with those who fear ʜɪᴍ. Hᴇ will reveal ʜɪꜱ covenant to them.
My eyes are ever on YHWH, for ʜᴇ will pluck my feet out of the net. Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are growing. Bring me out of my distresses. Consider my affliction and my travail, And forgive all my sins. Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred. Guard my soul and deliver me. Do not let me be disappointed, for I take refuge in you. May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you. God, redeem Israel from all their troubles.
