Psalms 25
1 By David. To you, LORD, I lift up my soul.
“A psalm of David.” To thee, O LORD! do I lift up my soul.
2 My God, I have trusted in you. Do not let me be shamed. Do not let my enemies triumph over me.
O my God! I trust in thee; let me not be put to shame! Let not my enemies triumph over me!
3 Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
Yea, none that hope in thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame who wickedly forsake thee.
4 Show me your ways, LORD. Teach me your paths.
Cause me to know thy ways, O LORD! Teach me thy paths!
5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me! For thou art the God from whom cometh my help; In thee do I trust at all times!
6 LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.
Remember thy loving-kindness, O LORD! and thy tender mercy, Which thou hast exercised of old!
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, LORD.
Remember not the faults and transgressions of my youth! According to thy mercy remember thou me, For thy goodness' sake, O LORD!
8 Good and upright is the LORD, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
Good and righteous is the LORD; Therefore showeth he to sinners the way.
9 He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.
The humble he guideth in his statutes, And the humble he teacheth his way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
All the doings of the LORD are mercy and truth To those who keep his covenant and his precepts.
11 For your name’s sake, LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
For thy name's sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity; for it is great!
12 What man is he who fears the LORD? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
Who is the man that feareth the LORD? Him doth he show the way which he should choose.
13 His soul will dwell at ease. His offspring will inherit the land.
He shall himself dwell in prosperity, And his offspring shall inherit the land.
14 The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.
The friendship of the LORD is with them that fear him, And he will teach them his covenant.
15 My eyes are ever on the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
Mine eyes are ever directed to the LORD, For he will pluck my feet from the net.
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
Look upon me, and pity me; For I am desolate and afflicted!
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses.
Lighten the sorrows of my heart, And deliver me from my troubles!
18 Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.
Look upon my affliction and distress, And forgive all my sins!
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.
Consider how many are my enemies, And with what violence they hate me!
20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
Guard thou my life, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in thee!
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For on thee do I rest my hope!
22 God, redeem Israel out of all his troubles.
Redeem Israel, O God! from all his troubles!
