1 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

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

3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach 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 the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

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

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

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my 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!
