The chapter as it stands, read forward into the canon it would help write. Beside each verse, the New Testament places that quote, allude to, or echo it — follow any to read it in its own argument. The verse number opens its full reception dossier.
To you, Yahweh, do I lift up my soul.
My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.
Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.
Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.
Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh.
Good and upright is Yahweh, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
His soul shall dwell at ease. His seed shall inherit the land.
The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.
My eyes are ever on Yahweh, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.
Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.
Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
Redeem Israel, God, out all of his troubles.
