The Book of Psalms
Psalm 24
Ad te, Domine, levavi.
A prayer for grace, mercy, and protection against our enemies.
 1 |
Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul. |
2 |
In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed. |
3 |
Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded. |
4 |
Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths. |
5 |
Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long. |
6 |
Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world. |
7 |
The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness' sake, O Lord. |
8 |
The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way. |
9 |
He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways. |
10 |
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies. |
11 |
For thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great. |
12 |
Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen. |
13 |
His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land. |
14 |
The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them. |
15 |
My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare. |
16 |
Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor. |
17 |
The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities. |
18 |
See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins. |
19 |
Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred. |
20 |
Deep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee. |
21 |
The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee. |
22 |
Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations. |
