To You I Lift Up My Soul

Of David.⁺

25Verse 1To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;^{Verse 2}in You, my God, I trust.Do not let me be put to shame;do not let my enemies exult over me.^{Verse 3}Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame;but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.^{Verse 4}Show me Your ways, O LORD;teach me Your paths.^{Verse 5}Guide me in Your truth and teach me,for You are the God of my salvation;
all day long I wait for You.^{Verse 6}Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion,for they are from age to age.^{Verse 7}Remember not the sins of my youth,nor my rebellious acts;remember me according to Your loving devotion,because of Your goodness, O LORD.^{Verse 8}Good and upright is the LORD;therefore He shows sinners the way.^{Verse 9}He guides the humble in what is rightand teaches them His way.^{Verse 10}All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithfulto those who keep His covenant and His decrees.^{Verse 11}For the sake of Your name, O LORD,forgive my iniquity, for it is great.^{Verse 12}Who is the man who fears the LORD?He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.^{Verse 13}His soul will dwell in prosperity,and his descendants will inherit the land.^{Verse 14}The LORD confides in those who fear Him,and reveals His covenant to them.^{Verse 15}My eyes are always on the LORD,for He will free my feet from the mesh.^{Verse 16}Turn to me and be gracious,for I am lonely and afflicted.^{Verse 17}The troubles of my heart increase;free me from my distress.^{Verse 18}Consider my affliction and trouble,and take away all my sins.^{Verse 19}Consider my enemies, for they are many,and they hate me with vicious hatred.^{Verse 20}Guard my soul and deliver me;let me not be put to shame,
for I take refuge in You.^{Verse 21}May integrity and uprightness preserve me,because I wait for You.^{+Verse 22}Redeem Israel, O God,from all its distress.
