Of David. To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.

O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.

Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.

5 הַדְרִ֘יכֵ֤נִי בַאֲמִתֶּ֨ךָ ׀ וְֽלַמְּדֵ֗נִי כִּֽי־אַ֭תָּה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעִ֑י אֹותְךָ֥ קִ֝וִּ֗יתִי כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃

Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.

O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.

7 חַטֹּ֤אות נְעוּרַ֨י ׀ וּפְשָׁעַ֗י אַל־תִּ֫זְכֹּ֥ר כְּחַסְדְּךָ֥ זְכָר־לִי־אַ֑תָּה לְמַ֖עַן טוּבְךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃

Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.

His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.

14 סֹ֣וד יְ֭הוָה לִירֵאָ֑יו וּ֝בְרִיתֹ֗ו לְהֹודִיעָֽם׃

The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.
