Psalms 25

1 Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

A Psalm of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

2 in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.

O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3 Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.

Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.

Show me 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; all day long I wait for You.

Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; for Thou art the God of my salvation; for Thee do I wait all the day.

6 Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.

Remember, O LORD, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; for they have been from of old.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me, for Thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.

Good and upright is the LORD; therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.

9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.

He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way.

10 All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

For Thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

12 Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.

What man is he that feareth the LORD? him will He instruct in the way that He should choose.

13 His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.

His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land.

14 The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.

The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it.

15 My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.

Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net.

16 Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.

Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.

18 Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.

See mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.

Consider how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me.

20 Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.

O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.

21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.

Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
