O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make straight before me Thy way,

And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing, and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in Thee.

That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass thy altar, O LORD:

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!

And in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be removed." And why? Thou, LORD, of thy goodness, hast made my hill so strong.

LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing. O my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

Bow down thy ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thy eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried to thee.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
