⁰Of David.

¹To you, Yahweh, I lift up my being.

²My God, in you I trust; let me not be ashamed; let not my enemies exult over me.

³Also, none of those who wait for you will be ashamed; those who betray will be ashamed, empty-handed.

⁴Make your ways known to me, Yahweh; teach me your paths.

⁵Lead me in your faithfulness and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day.

⁶Remember your compassion, Yahweh, and your loyal love, for they are from forever.

⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth and my transgressions; according to your loyal love remember me yourself, for the sake of your goodness, Yahweh.

⁸Good and upright is Yahweh; therefore he teaches sinners in the way.

⁹He leads the humble in justice and teaches the humble his way.

¹⁰All the paths of Yahweh are loyal love and faithfulness to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹¹For the sake of your name, Yahweh, forgive my guilt, for it is great.

¹²Who is this man who fears Yahweh? He will teach him in the way he chooses.

¹³His being will lodge in good, and his seed will occupy the land.

¹⁴The secret of Yahweh is for those who fear him, and his covenant he makes known to them.

¹⁵My eyes are continually toward Yahweh, for he will bring my feet out of the net.

¹⁶Turn to me and show me favor, for I am an only child and poor.

¹⁷The distresses of my heart have widened; from my narrow places bring me out.

¹⁸See my affliction and my toil, and take away all my sins.

¹⁹See my enemies, for they have become many, and with violent hatred they hate me.

²⁰Keep my being and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I have taken refuge in you.

²¹Integrity and uprightness will keep me, for I wait for you, Yahweh.

²²God, redeem Israel from all his distresses.
