A Psalm of David.
Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
O my God, in thee have I trusted,
Let me not be put to shame;
Let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame:
They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.
Show me thy ways, O Jehovah;
Teach me thy paths.
Guide me in thy truth, and teach me;
For thou art the God of my salvation;
For thee do I wait all the day.
Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness;
For they have been ever of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me,
For thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.
Good and upright is Jehovah:
Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in justice;
And the meek will he teach his way.
All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth
Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
For thy name's sake, O Jehovah,
Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
What man is he that feareth Jehovah?
Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.
His soul shall dwell at ease;
And his seed shall inherit the land.
The {Or, counsel Or, secret}friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him;
{Or, And his covenat, to make them know it}And he will show them his covenant.
Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah;
For he will pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;
For I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are {Or, as otherwise read, relieve thou, And bring me &c.}enlarged:
Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.
Consider mine affliction and my travail;
And forgive all my sins.
Consider mine enemies, for they are many;
And they hate me with cruel hatred.
Oh keep my soul, and deliver me:
Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for thee.
Redeem Israel, O God,
Out of all of his troubles.

Wait for Jehovah:Be strong, and let thy heart take courage;Yea, wait thou for Jehovah.
Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts:Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary);
Our soul hath waited for Jehovah:He is our help and our shield.
All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled:They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth,And lay my glory in the dust. [Selah
Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way,And he will exalt thee to inherit the land:When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee:Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,And save me from the bloodthirsty men.
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul;The mighty gather themselves together against me:Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.

Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel,Arise to visit all the nations:Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. [Selah
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.I waited patiently for Jehovah;And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
He brought me up also out of {Hebrew: a pit of tumult (or, destruction)}a horrible pit, out of the miry clay;And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God:Many shall see it, and fear,And shall trust in Jehovah.
Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt:Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head:They that would cut me off, being mine enemies {Hebrew: falsely.}wrongfully, are mighty:That which I took not away I have to restore.
For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.My soul {Hebrew: is silent unto God.}waiteth in silence for God only:From him cometh my salvation.
Let them be put to shame and confounded togetherThat seek after my soul to destroy it:Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonorThat delight in my hurt.
They have compassed me about also with words of hatred,And fought against me without a cause.
My soul, {Hebrew: be thou silent unto God.}wait thou in silence for God only;For my expectation is from him.
Let them be {Or, astonished}desolate {Or, for a reward of}by reason of their shameThat say unto me, Aha, aha.
Let the proud be put to shame; for they have overthrown me {Or, with falsehood}wrongfully:But I will meditate on thy precepts.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their master,As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress;So our eyes look unto Jehovah our God,Until he have mercy upon us.
Let them be put to shame and confoundedThat seek after my soul:Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonorThat delight in my hurt.
But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, {Psalm 35:19; 69:4}They hated me without a cause.
Zebulun shall dwell at the {Hebrew: beach.}haven of the sea;And he shall be for a {Hebrew: beach.}haven of ships;And his border shall be {Or, by}upon Sidon.
Let them be turned back {Or, for a reward of}by reason of their shameThat say, Aha, aha.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul;Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
His enemies will I clothe with shame;But upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one and a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not {Or, prospered}dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
But as for me, {Or, in Jehovah will I keep watch}I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with {Or, stedfastness}patience wait for it.
