1Von David. Nach dir, HERR, verlangt mich.2Mein Gott, ich hoffe auf dich; lass mich nicht zuschanden werden, dass meine Feinde nicht frohlocken über mich.3Denn keiner wird zuschanden, der auf dich harret; aber zuschanden werden die leichtfertigen Verächter.4HERR, zeige mir deine Wege und lehre mich deine Steige!5Leite mich in deiner Wahrheit und lehre mich! Denn du bist der Gott, der mir hilft; täglich harre ich auf dich.6Gedenke, HERR, an deine Barmherzigkeit und an deine Güte, die von Ewigkeit her gewesen sind.7Gedenke nicht der Sünden meiner Jugend und meiner Übertretungen, gedenke aber meiner nach deiner Barmherzigkeit, HERR, um deiner Güte willen!8Der HERR ist gut und gerecht; darum weist er Sündern den Weg.9Er leitet die Elenden recht und lehrt die Elenden seinen Weg.10Die Wege des HERRN sind lauter Güte und Treue für alle, die seinen Bund und seine Zeugnisse halten.11Um deines Namens willen, HERR, vergib mir meine Schuld, die da groß ist! (2Mo 34,6)12Wer ist es, der den HERRN fürchtet? Er wird ihm den Weg weisen, den er wählen soll.13Der wird im Guten wohnen, und seine Kinder werden das Land besitzen. (Ps 37,9)14Am Rat des HERRN haben teil, die ihn fürchten; und seinen Bund lässt er sie wissen.15Meine Augen sehen stets auf den HERRN; denn er wird meinen Fuß aus dem Netze ziehen.16Wende dich zu mir und sei mir gnädig; denn ich bin einsam und elend.17Die Angst meines Herzens ist groß; führe mich aus meinen Nöten!18Sieh an meinen Jammer und mein Elend und vergib mir alle meine Sünden!19Sieh, wie meiner Feinde so viel sind und zu Unrecht mich hassen. (Ps 35,19)20Bewahre meine Seele und errette mich; lass mich nicht zuschanden werden, denn ich traue auf dich!21Unschuld und Redlichkeit mögen mich behüten; denn ich harre auf dich.22Gott, erlöse Israel aus aller seiner Not! (Ps 130,8)
1In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.2I trust in you. Don’t let me be put to shame. Don’t let my enemies win the battle over me.3Those who put their hope in you will never be put to shame. But those who lie to other people for no reason will be put to shame.4LORD, show me your ways. Teach me how to follow you.5Guide me in your truth. Teach me. You are God my Saviour. I put my hope in you all day long.6LORD, remember your great mercy and love. You have shown them to your people for a long time.7Don’t remember the sins I committed when I was young. Don’t remember how often I refused to obey you. Remember me because you love me. LORD, you are good.8The LORD is honest and good. He teaches sinners to walk in his ways.9He shows those who aren’t proud how to do what is right. He teaches them his ways.10All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful towards those who obey what his covenant commands.11LORD, be true to your name. Forgive my sin, even though it is great.12Who are the people who have respect for the LORD? God will teach them the ways they should choose.13Things will always go well for them. Their children will be given the land.14The LORD shares his plans with those who have respect for him. He makes his covenant known to them.15My eyes always look to the LORD. He alone can set my feet free from the trap.16Turn to me and help me. I am lonely and hurting.17Take away the troubles of my heart. Set me free from my great pain.18Look at how I’m hurting! See how much I suffer! Take away all my sins.19Look at how many enemies I have! See how terrible their hatred is for me!20Guard my life. Save me. Don’t let me be put to shame. I go to you for safety.21May my honest and good life keep me safe. LORD, I have put my hope in you.22God, set Israel free from all their troubles!
1To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.[1] (Ps 24,4; Ps 86,4; Ps 143,8; Kla 3,41)2O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. (Ps 11,1; Ps 13,4; Ps 25,20; Ps 31,1; Ps 31,17; Ps 71,1)3Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. (Ps 59,3; Ps 59,4; Jes 49,23; Jer 3,20; Röm 5,5; Phil 1,20)4Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.

(1Mo 8,1; 1Mo 9,15; 1Mo 19,29; Ps 51,1; Ps 103,17; Jes 63,15)7Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O LORD! (Hi 13,26; Hi 20,11; Ps 51,1; Jer 3,25)8Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. (Ps 32,8; Ps 100,5)9He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.10All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. (Joh 1,17)11For your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my guilt, for it is great. (Ps 23,3; Röm 5,20)12Who is the man who fears the LORD? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. (Ps 8,1)13His soul shall abide in well-being, and his offspring shall inherit the land. (Ps 37,9; Ps 112,2; Spr 1,33; Spr 19,23)14The friendship[2] of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. (Hi 29,4; Am 3,7)15My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net. (2Chr 20,12; Ps 31,4; Ps 123,1; Ps 123,2; Ps 141,8)16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. (Ps 69,16; Ps 86,16; Ps 119,132)17The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses.18Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins. (Hi 10,15)19Consider how many are my foes, and with what violent hatred they hate me.20Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. (Ps 2,1)21May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. (2Sam 4,9; Ps 34,22; Ps 71,23; Ps 130,8; Kla 3,58)
