1 B y David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.

2 M y God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

3 A lso let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

4 T hy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

5 C ause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

6 R emember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age they.

7 S ins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

8 G ood and upright Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

9 H e causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
