1To you, Yahweh, I lift up my life!

2My God, I trust in you.
Do not let me be humiliated;
do not let my enemies rejoice triumphantly over me.

3May no one who hopes in you be disgraced
may those who act treacherously without cause be ashamed!

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

5Guide me into your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
I hope in you all day long.

6Call to mind, Yahweh, your acts of compassion and of covenant faithfulness;
for they have always existed.

7Do not think about the sins of my youth or my rebelliousness;
Call me to mind with covenant faithfulness because of your goodness, Yahweh!

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

9He guides the humble in what is right
and he teaches them his way.

10All the paths of Yahweh are steadfast love and faithfulness
to those who keep his covenant and his solemn commands.

11For your name's sake, Yahweh,
pardon my sin, for it is great.

12Who is the man who fears Yahweh?
The Lord will instruct him in the way that he should choose.

13His life will go along in goodness;
and his descendants will inherit the land.

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

15My eyes are always on Yahweh,
for he will free my feet from the net.

16Turn toward me and have mercy on me;
for I am alone and afflicted.

17The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
draw me out from my distress!

18See my affliction and my toils;
forgive all my sins.

19See my enemies, for they are many;
they hate me with cruel hatred.

20Protect my life and rescue me;
do not let me be humiliated, for I take refuge in you!

21May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I hope in you.

22Rescue Israel, God,
from all of his troubles!
