1 [{A Psalm} of David.] Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.2 My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.3 Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.4 Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.5 Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.6 Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.8 Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:9 The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.10 All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.11 For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.12 What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way {that} he should choose.13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.14 The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.15 Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.16 Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.17 The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses;18 Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.19 Consider mine 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 trust in thee.21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

1 'n Psalm van Dawid. Alef. Tot U, o HERE, hef ek my siel op.2 Bet. My God, op U vertrou ek; laat my nie beskaamd staan nie; laat my vyande oor my nie juig nie.3 Gimel. Ja, almal wat U verwag, sal nie beskaamd staan nie. Hulle sal beskaamd staan wat troueloos handel sonder oorsaak.4 Dalet. HERE, maak my u weë bekend; leer my u paaie.5 He. Lei my in u waarheid en leer my, want U is die God van my heil. U verwag ek die hele dag.6 Sajin. Dink, HERE, aan u barmhartigheid en u goedertierenhede, want die is van ewigheid af.7 Get. Dink nie aan die sondes van my jonkheid en aan my oortredinge nie; dink aan my na u goedertierenheid, om u goedheid ontwil, o HERE!8 Tet. Die HERE is goed en reg; daarom sal Hy sondaars leer aangaande die weg.9 Jod. Hy sal die ootmoediges lei in die reg en die ootmoediges sy weg leer.10 Kaf. Al die paaie van die HERE is goedertierenheid en trou vir die wat sy verbond en sy getuienisse bewaar.11 Lamed. Om u Naam ontwil, HERE, vergeef my ongeregtigheid, want dit is groot.12 Mem. Wie tog is die man wat die HERE vrees? Hy sal hom leer aangaande die weg wat hy moet kies.13 Noen. Hy self sal vernag in die goeie, en sy nageslag sal die land besit.14 Samek. Die verborgenheid van die HERE is vir die wat Hom vrees, en sy verbond om hulle dit bekend te maak.15 Ajin. My oë is altyddeur op die HERE, want Hy sal my voete uit die net uitlei.16 Pe. Wend U tot my en wees my genadig, want ek is eensaam en ellendig.17 Sade. Die benoudhede van my hart is wyd uitgestrek; lei my uit my angste.18 Resj. Aanskou my ellende en my moeite, en vergeef al my sondes.19 Resj. Aanskou my vyande, want hulle is talryk, en hulle haat my met 'n gewelddadige haat.20 Sjin. Bewaar my siel en red my; laat my nie beskaamd staan nie, want by U skuil ek.21 Tau. Laat vroomheid en opregtheid my bewaar, want U verwag ek.22 o God, verlos Israel uit al sy benoudhede!
