A Psalm of David
Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: I lift my soul to thee, O Lord Lyrics: 1 I lift my soul to thee, O Lord,
2 My God I trust in thee,
Let me not be asham'd, nor let
My foes joy over me.
3 Ye let not them that wait on thee,
Be fill'd with shamefulness,
But let them all ashamed be,
Who causelesly transgress.
4 Thy ways, Jehovah to me show,
Thy paths make me discern,
5 Make thou me in thy truth to go;
And cause thou me to learn.
6 For of my health thou art the God,
On thee I wait all day,
Thy bowels, Lord, and mercies mind,
For they have been for aye.
7 My sins of youth and trespasses,
To mind, oh! do not take:
O mind me in thy tenderness
Lord for thy goodness sake.
8 The Lord's good and upright, therefore
He'll sinners teach the way?
9 The meek he will in judgment guide,
And teach the meek his way.
10 Jehovah's paths thy mercy are,
And truths all of them too,
To them that keep his covenant,
And testimonies do.
11 For thy name's sake Jehovah I
Do humbly thee intreat
To pardon mine iniquity,
For it is very great.
[2]
12 Who fears the Lord's him he will teach
The way that he shall chuse:
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; his seed
As heirs the earth shall use.
14 The secret of the Lord's with those
That do him reverence,
And of his cov'nant he to those
Will give intelligence.
15 Mine eyes continually be
Upon Jehovah set:
For it is he that will set free
My feet out of the net.
16 O turn thou unto me thy face,
And on me mercy show;
For I am in a lonely case,
Afflicted poor also.
17 My straits of heart enlarged be;
Bring me from my distress:
18 My pain and mine affliction see,
And all my sins release.
19 My foes mark, for they many be,
And cruelly me hate.
20 My soul keep, free me, nor let me
Be sham'd, who on thee wait.
21 Let soundness and integrity
Keep me who trust in thee
22 From all his troubles Israel
O God do thou set free. Scripture: Psalm 25

To Thee, O LORD, I lift my soul
Hymnal: The Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithfully translated into English Metre #PXXV (1773) Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O LORD, I lift my soul:
2 My God I trust in Thee:
Let me not be asham'd; nor let
my foes joy over me.
3 Yea, let not any be asham'd,
who hope and wait on Thee:
But all who are unjust and vain,
let them ashamed be.
4 Thy ways, JEHOVAH, to me show,
thy paths make me discern;
5 O make me in thy truth to go,
and cause Thou me to learn.
For of my health Thou art the God,
on Thee I wait all day:
6 Thy bowels, LORD, and mercies mind;
for, evermore are they.
7 Remember not my faults of youth,
nor later sins record:
In mercy, for thy goodness sake
remember me, O LORD.
8 The LORD is good and just; therefore
the way He'll sinners show:
9 The meek He will in judgment guide,
and make his way to know.
10 JEHOVAH's paths all mercy are,
and truth all of them too,
To them that keep his covenant
and testimonies do.
11 JEHOVAH, for thy own name sake,
I humbly Thee intreat
To pardon mine iniquity,
for it is very great.
[2 Part]
12 Who fear the LORD, them He will teach
the way that they should chuse;
13 Their souls shall dwell at ease; their seed
as heirs the earth shall use.
14 With them who humbly fear the LORD,
his secret love doth dwell;
And his most gracious covenant
to him He will reveal.
15 Mine earnest eyes continually
rais'd to JEHOVAH are;
For He it is that can set free
my feet out of the snare.
16 O turn Thou unto me thy face,
and on me mercy show;
For I am in a lonely case,
afflicted, poor, and low.
17 The troubles of my heart are great;
bring me from my distress,
18 My pain and mine affliction see,
and all my sins release.
19 Consider Thou mine enemies;
for multiply'd they are,
And it a cruel hatred is
which they against me bear.
20 O do Thou safely keep my soul,
do Thou deliver me;
And let me never be asham'd,
because I trust in Thee.
21 Let soundness and let uprightness
keep me who wait on Thee:
22 From all his troubles Israel
O GOD, do thou set free. Scripture: Psalm 25 Languages: English
