1 To You, O Lord, I alift up my soul.
2 O my God, in You aI trust,

1Those who bdeal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.
4 aMake me know Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
5 Lead me in aYour truth and teach me,
For You are the bGod of my salvation;
For You I cwait all the day.
6 aRemember, O Lord, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they have been 1bfrom of old.
7 Do not remember the asins of my youth or my transgressions;
bAccording to Your lovingkindness remember me,
For Your cgoodness’ sake, O Lord.
8 aGood and bupright is the Lord;
Therefore He cinstructs sinners in the way.
9 He aleads the 1humble in justice,
And He bteaches the 1humble His way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are alovingkindness and truth
To bthose who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
11 For aYour name’s sake, O Lord,
bPardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Who is the man who afears the Lord?
He will binstruct him in the way he should choose.
13 His soul will aabide in 1prosperity,
And his 2descendants will binherit the 3land.
14 The 1asecret of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
2And He will bmake them know His covenant.
15 My aeyes are continually toward the Lord,
For He will 1bpluck my feet out of the net.
16 aTurn to me and be gracious to me,
For I am blonely and afflicted.
17 1The atroubles of my heart are enlarged;
Bring me bout of my distresses.
18 aLook upon my affliction and my 1trouble,
And bforgive all my sins.
19 Look upon my enemies, for they aare many,
And they bhate me with violent hatred.

For bI wait for You.

Psalm 24–25
The King of Glory Entering Zion.
A Psalm of David.
1 The aearth is the Lord’s, and 1all it contains,
The bworld, and those who dwell in it.
2 For He has afounded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.
3 Who may aascend into the bhill of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy cplace?
4 He who has aclean hands and a bpure heart,
Who has not clifted up his soul 1to falsehood
And has not dsworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive a ablessing from the Lord
And 1brighteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 1This is the generation of those who aseek Him,
Who seek Your face—even Jacob.
2Selah.
7 aLift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, O 1ancient doors,
That the King of bglory may come in!
The Lord astrong and mighty,
The Lord bmighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, O 1ancient doors,
That the King of aglory may come in!
The Lord of ahosts,
He is the King of glory.
Selah.
