¹ UNTO thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.² O my God, I trust in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.³ Yea, let none that trust in thee be ashamed; let the wicked be ashamed with their vanity.⁴ Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.⁵ Lead me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art my God and my Saviour; on thee do I wait all the day.⁶ Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they are from the beginning of the world.⁷ Remember not the foolishness of my youth, but according to thine abundant mercy remember thou me because of thy goodness sake, O God.

Him shall he teach in the way that he has chosen.¹³ His soul shall abide with grace, and his offspring shall inherit the earth.¹⁴ The LORD is mindful of them that worship him, and he will show them his covenant.

¹⁵ My eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he will release my feet out of the net.¹⁶ Turn thou unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am the only son and destitute.¹⁷ The troubles of my heart are multiplied; O bring thou me out of my distresses.¹⁸ Look upon my affliction and my labor; and forgive all my sins.¹⁹ Consider my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with an unjust hatred.²⁰ O keep my soul, and deliver me, because I have trusted in thee.²¹ The innocent and the upright have followed me because I have trusted in thee.²² God has saved Israel from all of his oppressors.
