A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
