Psalm 24

To you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

O my God, I have trusted in you: let me not be confounded, neither let my enemies laugh me to scorn.

For none of them that wait on you shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.

Show me your ways, O Lord; and teach me your paths.

Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my Saviour: and I have waited on you all the day.

Remember your compassions, O Lord, and your mercies, for they are from everlasting.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my sins of ignorance: remember me according to your mercy, for your goodness' sake, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.

The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.

All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.

For your name's sake, O Lord, do you also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.

Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.

His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest truth to them.

My eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.

Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.

The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.

Look upon my affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.

Look upon my enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.

Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in you.

The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for you, O Lord.

Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
