1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
O my God, in you I trust; ♦︎
let me not be put to shame;
let not my enemies triumph over me.
2 Let none who look to you be put to shame, ♦︎
but let the treacherous be shamed and frustrated.
3 Make me to know your ways, O Lord, ♦︎
and teach me your paths.
4 Lead me in your truth and teach me, ♦︎
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you have I hoped all the day long.
5 Remember, Lord, your compassion and love, ♦︎
for they are from everlasting.
6 Remember not the sins of my youth
or my transgressions, ♦︎
but think on me in your goodness, O Lord,
according to your steadfast love.
7 Gracious and upright is the Lord; ♦︎
therefore shall he teach sinners in the way.
8 He will guide the humble in doing right ♦︎
and teach his way to the lowly.
