1  A Psalm of David. Unto Thee, O YHWH, do I lift up my soul.

1  Unto the end. A Psalm of David. To you, Lord, I have lifted up my soul.

1  UNTO thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

2  O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.

2  In you, my God, I trust. Let me not be put to shame.

3  Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

3  And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded.

4  Show me Thy ways, O YHWH; teach me Thy paths.

4  May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths.

5  Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; for Thou art the God of my salvation; for Thee do I wait all the day.

5  Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art God my Saviour: and I have waited on thee all the day.

5  Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Saviour, and I remain with you all day long.

6  Remember, O YHWH, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; for they have been from of old.

6  O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past.

6  Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they are from the beginning of the world.

7  Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me, for Thy goodness' sake, O YHWH.

7  Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, O Lord.

8  Good and upright is YHWH; therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.

8  The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way.

9  He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way.

9  The meek will he guide in judgement: the meek will he teach his ways.

9  He will guide the meek in judgment, and he will teach the poor his way.

10  All the paths of YHWH are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

11  For Thy name's sake, O YHWH, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

11  For thy name’s sake, O Lord, do thou also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.

11  Because of your name, O Lord, you will pardon my sin, for it is great.

12  What man is he that feareth YHWH? him will He instruct in the way that He should choose.

12  Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.

12  Which is the man who fears the Lord? He has established a law for him, on the way that he has chosen.

13  His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land.

13  His soul will dwell upon good things, and his offspring will inherit the earth.

14  The counsel of YHWH is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it.

14  The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest truth to them.

14  The LORD is mindful of them that worship him, and he will show them his covenant.

15  Mine eyes are ever toward YHWH; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net.

15  My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pull my feet from the snare.

16  Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.

16  Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.

17  The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.

17  The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.

18  See mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins.

18  Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.

18  See my lowliness and my hardship, and release all my offenses.

19  Consider how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me.

19  Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.

19  Consider my enemies, for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with an unjust hatred.

20  O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.

20  Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in thee.

20  Preserve my soul and rescue me. I will not be ashamed, for I have hoped in you.

21  Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee.

21  The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for thee, O Lord.

21  The innocent and the righteous have adhered to me, because I have remained with you.

22  Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

22  God has saved Israel from all of his oppressors.
