To you I lift up my soul

									BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] To You, O YHWH, I lift up my soul.
								
							 
																								
								2
								
									My God, in You I have trusted, || Do not let me be ashamed, || Do not let my enemies exult over me.
								
							 
																								
								3
								
									Also let none waiting on You be ashamed, || Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
								
							 
																								
								4
								
									Your ways, O YHWH, cause me to know, || You teach me Your paths.
								
							 
																								
								5
								
									Cause me to tread in Your truth, and teach me, || For You [are] the God of my salvation, || Near You I have waited all the day.
								
							 
																								
								6
								
									Remember Your mercies, O YHWH, || And Your kindnesses, for they [are] from the age.
								
							 
																								
								7
								
									Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, || Do not remember. According to Your kindness be mindful of me, || For Your goodness’ sake, O YHWH.
								
							 
																								
								8
								
									Good and upright [is] YHWH, || Therefore He directs sinners in the way.
								
							 
																								
								9
								
									He causes the humble to tread in judgment, || And teaches the humble His way.
								
							 
																								
								10
								
									All the paths of YHWH [are] kindness and truth, || To those keeping His covenant, || And His testimonies.
								
							 
																								
								11
								
									For Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, || You have pardoned my iniquity, for it [is] great.
								
							 
																								
								12
								
									Who [is] this—the man fearing YHWH? He directs him in the way He chooses.
								
							 
																								
								13
								
									His soul remains in good, || And his seed possesses the land.
								
							 
																								
								14
								
									The secret of YHWH [is] for those fearing Him, || And His covenant—to cause them to know.
								
							 
																								
								15
								
									My eyes [are] continually to YHWH, || For He brings my feet out from a net.
								
							 
																								
								16
								
									Turn to me, and favor me, || For I [am] lonely and afflicted.
								
							 
																								
								17
								
									The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, || Bring me out from my distresses.
								
							 
																								
								18
								
									See my affliction and my misery, || And bear with all my sins.
								
							 
																								
								19
								
									See my enemies, for they have been many, || And they have hated me with violent hatred.
								
							 
																								
								20
								
									Keep my soul, and deliver me, || Do not let me be ashamed, for I trusted in You.
								
							 
																								
								21
								
									Integrity and uprightness keep me, || For I have waited [on] You.
								
							 
																								
								22
								
									Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
