To You, O Lord, I Lift Up My Soul 1By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up. ב 2My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me. ג 3Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed. ד 4Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me. הו 5Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou art the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day. ז 6Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age are they. ח 7Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah. ט 8Good and upright is Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way. י 9He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way. כ 10All the paths of Jehovah are kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies. ל 11For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it is great. מ 12Who is this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose. נ 13His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land. ס 14The secret of Jehovah is for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know. ע 15Mine eyes are continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet. פ 16Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted am I. צ 17The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out. ר 18See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins. 19See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me. ש 20Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee. ת 21Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited on Thee. 22Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses! |
