Book One (Psalms 1-41) "Concerning Man"
A Psalm of David.
1: 
Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
2: O my God, 
I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3: 
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4: 
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
5: 
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; 
on thee do I wait all the day.
6: 
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
7: 
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
8: 
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9: 
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10: 
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11: 
For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12: 
What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13: 
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14: 
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15: 
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16: 
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17: 
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18: 
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19: Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20: 
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21: 
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22: Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
