To thee, O God, I lift up my soul,
All the day long do I
wait for thee.
I
trust in thee, O God, let me not be ashamed;
Let not my
enemies exult over me,
And let none who
hope in thee be ashamed;
But let
wicked traitors be disgraced.
Show me thy ways, O Lord,
Teach me thy way to live.
Lead me in thy
truth and teach me,
For thou art the God who saves me,
And in thee do I hope continually.
Remember thy
tender mercies, O Lord,
And thy loving deeds, for they are eternal.
Do not recall the sins of my youth,
But in thy
love remember thou me,
Because of thy goodness, O Lord.
Good and
upright is the Lord,
So he teaches sinners the way,
He guides the
humble aright,
And teaches the meek his way,
All his rules are loving and true,
To those who
follow his law and commands.
For thy name's sake, O Lord,
Pardon my guilt, for it is great.
Who is the
man that reveres the Lord?
He will teach him the way to choose.
That man shall
continue to prosper,
And his
children inherit the land.
He is friendly with those who revere him,
And with his covenant he makes them acquainted.
My
eyes are ever turned toward the Lord,
For he saves my feet from the net.
Turn to me and be gracious,
For I am alone and afflicted;
Relieve the troubles of my heart,
And deliver me from my distresses;
Look on my
affliction and suffering,
And pardon all my sins.
Consider my enemies, for they are many,
And they hate me with violent hatred;
Oh save my
life and deliver me,
Let me not be ashamed, for I trust thee.
Let innocence and
uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for thee, O Lord.
