Of David. To Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

[A psalm] of David. To You, O L rd, will I lift up my soul [i.e., direct my heart].

O my God, I trust in Thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me.

O G d, [because] I have trusted in You, [I know that] I shall not be shamed, [that] my foes shall not exult over me.

Moreover let none that wait on Thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who betray without cause.

Also all those who hope in You shall not be shamed. Those who strip [the poor] shall be shamed.

Make me know Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths.

Your ways, O L rd, make known to me; teach me Your paths.

Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me: for Thou art the God of my salvation; for Thee do I wait all the day.

Lead me in Your truth, and teach [it to] me; for You are the G d of my salvation; in You have I trusted all the day [i.e., all my life].

Remember, O Lord, Thy tender mercies and Thy truth; for they have been from of old.

Remember Your mercies, O L rd, and Your lovingkindnesses, for they are eternal [i.e., from the day You created Adam, telling him that he would die on the day he ate from the tree of knowledge, and granting him one of Your (thousand-year) days.]

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to Thy loyal love remember Thou me for Thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Do not bring to mind the sins of my youth and my offenses. What is worthy of Your lovingkindness [i.e., my good deeds] remember for me, for the sake of Your goodness, O L rd.

Good and upright is the Lord: therefore does he instruct sinners in the way.

Good and just is the L rd [(and desirous of vindicating His creations)], wherefore He teaches sinners in the way [of repentance].

He directs the humble in justice: and he teaches the meek his way.

He leads the humble in [the] justice [of their way], and He teaches the humble His way.

All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

All the paths of the L rd are lovingkindness and truth for the keepers of His covenant and His testimonies.

For Thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.

For the sake of Your [great] name, O L rd, forgive my sin for it is great [(and it becomes the Great to forgive the great)].

What man is he that fears the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he should choose.

Who is the man that fears the L rd? He shall teach him [to walk] in the way that He chooses [(the way of good)].

His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

His soul [(in the grave)] shall rest in good, and his seed shall inherit the earth.

The counsel of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will reveal to them his covenant.

The secret of the L rd is for those who fear Him, and His covenant, [(of Torah)], to make it known to them.

My eyes are ever towards the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

My eyes are always to the L rd; for He shall release my feet from the net.

Turn Thee to me, and be gracious to me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

Turn to me, and be gracious to me, for I am [but] one [(carrying [as king] the sins of the many, who depend upon my prayer for their deliverance)] and I am poor [in merit].

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring me out of my distresses.

The woes of my heart have widened; release me from my toils.

Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

Behold my afflictions and my burdens, and, [considering them], forgive all of my sins.

Consider my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with a cruel hatred.

See how my foes have increased, how they hate me for violence [(of which I am guiltless)].

O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in Thee.

Guard my soul and rescue me. Let me not be shamed, for I have trusted in You.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; because I wait for Thee.

[My] innocence and uprightness will guard me, for I have hoped in You.

Redeem Yisra᾽el, O God, out of all his troubles.

Redeem, O G d, [all of] Israel, from all of its afflictions.
