1 Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
1By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.
1 To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.
2O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.
2My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.
2O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.
3Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.
3Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
3Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.
4Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.
4Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.
4Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.
5Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.
5Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou <FI>art<Fi> the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.
5Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.
6Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old.
6Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age <FI>are<Fi> they.
6O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.
7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness’ sake, O Jehovah.
7Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.
7Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.
8Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.
8Good and upright <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.
8Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.
9The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.
9He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
9He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.
10All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
10All the paths of Jehovah <FI>are<Fi> kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
10All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.
11For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
11For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it <FI>is<Fi> great.
11Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.
12What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.
12Who <FI>is<Fi> this--the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.
12If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.
13His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.
13His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.
13His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.
14The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant.
14The secret of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> for those fearing Him, And His covenant--to cause them to know.
14The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.
15Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.
15Mine eyes <FI>are<Fi> continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.
15My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.
16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted.
16Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted <FI>am<Fi> I.
16Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.
17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.
17The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.
17The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.
18Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.
18See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
18Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.
19Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.
19See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.
19See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.
20Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.
20Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.
20O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.
