1Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

1 Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

1 To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.

1Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.

2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

2O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph 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.

2Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.

3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

3Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.

3Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.

3For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.

4Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.

4Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.

4Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.

4I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.

5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

5Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait 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.

5I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.

6Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

6Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old.

6O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.

6I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:

7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou 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.

7That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

8Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.

8Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.

8I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

9The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.

9He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.

9Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:

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

10All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep 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.

10In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.

11For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

11For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

11Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.

11But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.

12What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

12What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.

12If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.

12My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.

13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

13His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.

13His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.
