Ad te, Domine, levavi.

1 Unto thee, O Lord, will I 3 lift | up my | soul; ||
my | God, • I have | put my | trust in • thee: ||
O let me 3 not | be con- | founded, ||
neither let mine | ene•mies | triumph | over • me. ||
2 For all they that hope in thee shall 3 not | be a- | shamed; ||
but such as transgress without a | cause • shall be | 3 put to • con- | fusion. ||
3 Show me thy ways, O Lord, and | 3 teach me • thy | paths. ||
4 Lead me | 3 forth in • thy | truth, and | learn me: ||
for thou art the | God of • my sal- | vation; ||
in thee hath been my | hope | all the • day | long. ||
5 Call to remembrance, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy | loving- | kindness•es, ||
3 which | have been | 3 ever of | old. ||
6 O remember not the sins and of- | fences • of my | youth; ||
but according to thy mercy think thou up- | on me, • O | Lord, • for thy | goodness. ||
7 Gracious and | righteous • is the | Lord; ||
therefore will he teach | sinners | in the | way. ||
8 Them that are meek shall he | guide in | judgment; ||
and such as are gentle, | them • shall he | learn his | way. ||
9 All the paths of the Lord are | mer•cy and | truth, ||
unto such as keep his | 3 covenant | and his | testi•monies. ||
10 For thy | 3 Name’s sake, • O | Lord, ||
be merciful unto my | sin; for | it is | great. ||
11 What man is he that | 3 feareth the | Lord? ||
him shall he | teach • in the | way that • he shall | choose. ||
12 His soul shall | dwell at | ease, ||
and his | seed • shall in- | 3 herit the | land. ||
13 The secret of the Lord is a- 3 mong | them that | fear him; ||
and | he will | 3 show them • his | cove•nant. ||
14 Mine eyes are ever looking | 3 unto the | Lord; ||
for he shall | pluck my | feet • out of the | net. ||
15 Turn thee unto me, and have | mer•cy up- | on me; ||
for I am | deso•late, | and in | miser•y. ||
16 The sorrows of my | heart • are en- | larged: ||
| bring thou • me | 3 out of • my | troubles. ||
17 Look upon my ad- | versi•ty and | miser•y, ||
and for- | give me | all my | sin. ||
18 Consider mine enemies, how | many • they | are; ||
and they | bear a | tyran•nous | hate a•gainst me. ||
19 O keep my | soul, • and de- | liver • me: ||
let me not be confounded, for I have | put my | trust in | thee. ||
20 Let perfectness and righteous | dealing | wait up•on me; ||
for my | hope hath | been in | thee. ||

Or, 21 Deliver | Israel, • O | God, ||
3 out | — of | all his | troubles. ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
