Ad te, Domine, levaviBCP p. 6141To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul; my God, I put my trust in you; *let me not be humiliated, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
2Let none who look to you be put to shame; *let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes.
3Show me your ways, O Lord, *and teach me your paths.
4Lead me in your truth and teach me, *for you are the God of my salvation; in you have I trusted all the day long.
5Remember, O Lord, your compassion and love, *for they are from everlasting.
6Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions; *remember me according to your love and for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.
7Gracious and upright is the Lord; *therefore he teaches sinners in his way.
8He guides the humble in doing right *and teaches his way to the lowly.
9All the paths of the Lord are love and faithfulness *to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
10For your Name’s sake, O Lord, *forgive my sin, for it is great.
11Who are they who fear the Lord? *he will teach them the way that they should choose.
12They shall dwell in prosperity, *and their offspring shall inherit the land.
13The Lord is a friend to those who fear him *and will show them his covenant.
14My eyes are ever looking to the Lord, *for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
15Turn to me and have pity on me, *for I am left alone and in misery.
16The sorrows of my heart have increased; *bring me out of my troubles.
17Look upon my adversity and misery *and forgive me all my sin.
18Look upon my enemies, for they are many, *and they bear a violent hatred against me.
19Protect my life and deliver me; *let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in you.
20Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, *for my hope has been in you.
