To You I Lift Up My Soul 1(24:1) A Psalm of David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul. 2(24:2) O my God, I have trusted in thee: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn. 3(24:3) For none of them that wait on thee shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause. 4(24:4) Shew me thy ways, O Lord; and teach me thy paths. 5(24:5) Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art God my Saviour: and I have waited on thee all the day. 6(24:6) Remember thy compassions, O Lord, and thy mercies, for they are from everlasting. 7(24:7) Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my sins of ignorance: remember me according to thy mercy, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord. 8(24:8) Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in the way. 9(24:9) The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways. 10(24:10) All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies. 11(24:11) For thy name's sake, O Lord, do thou also be merciful to my sin; for it is great. 12(24:12) Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen. 13(24:13) His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 14(24:14) The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest truth to them. 15(24:15) Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare. 16(24:16) Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor. 17(24:17) The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses. 18(24:18) Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins. 19(24:19) Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred. 20(24:20) Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in thee. 21(24:21) The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for thee, O Lord. 22(24:22) Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
