• A Plea for Deliverance and Forgiveness

  • 1 To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
  • 2 O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me.
  • 3 Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.
  • 4 Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths.
  • 5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.
  • 6 Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old.
  • 7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.
  • 8 Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.
  • 9 The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way.
  • 10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
  • 11 For Your name’s sake, O Lord, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
  • 12 Who is the man that fears the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.
  • 13 He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth.
  • 14 The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.
  • 15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net.
  • 16 Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted.
  • 17 The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses!
  • 18 Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins.
  • 19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.
  • 20 Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.
  • 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You.
  • 22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles!
