Psalms - Chapter 24

Passage

To the end, a psalm for David. To you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul. In you, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed. Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on you shall be confounded. Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Show, O Lord, your ways to me, and teach me your paths. Direct me in your truth, and teach me; for you are God my Savior; and on you have I waited all the day long. Remember, O Lord, your bowels of compassion; and your mercies that are from the beginning of the world. The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to your mercy remember you me: for your goodness' sake, O Lord. The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way. He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways. All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies. For your name's sake, O Lord, you will pardon my sin: for it is great. Who is the man that fears the Lord? He has appointed him a law in the way he has chosen. His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land. The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them. My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare. Look upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor. The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities. See my abjection and my labor; and forgive me all my sins. Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred. Keep my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in you. The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on you. Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
