Acrostic Psalm
1 To you, Adonai , do I lift up my soul.
2 My God, I have trusted in you.
Don’t let me be shamed.
Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.
3 Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed.
They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Show me your ways, Adonai .
Teach me your paths.
5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me,
For you are the God of my yesha' ·salvation·,
I wait for you all day long.
6 Adonai , remember your tender racham ·merciful love· and your cheshed ·loving-kindness·,
for they are from old times.
7 Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.
Remember me according to your cheshed ·loving-kindness·,
for your goodness’ sake, Adonai .
8 Good and upright is Adonai ,
therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
9 He will guide the humble in mishpat ·justice·.
He will teach the humble his way.
10 All the paths of Adonai are cheshed ·loving-kindness· and truth
to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your name’s sake, Adonai ,
pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 What man is he who fears Adonai ?
He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease.
His offspring shall inherit the land.
14 The friendship of Adonai is with those who fear him.
He will show them his covenant.
15 My eyes are ever on Adonai ,
for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me,
for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged.
Oh bring me out of my distresses.
18 Consider my affliction and my travail.
Forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many.
They hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me.
Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I wait for you.
22 Redeem Israel [God prevails], God,
out all of his troubles.
