Psalms 25
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
“A psalm of David.” To thee, O LORD! do I lift up my soul.
2 In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
O my God! I trust in thee; let me not be put to shame! Let not my enemies triumph over me!
3 Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
Yea, none that hope in thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame who wickedly forsake thee.
4 Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.
Cause me to know thy ways, O LORD! 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.
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 Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
Remember thy loving-kindness, O LORD! and thy tender mercy, Which thou hast exercised of old!
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.
Remember not the faults and transgressions of my youth! 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.
Good and righteous is the LORD; Therefore showeth he to sinners the way.
9 He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.
The humble he guideth in his statutes, And the humble he teacheth his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after 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 thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.
For thy name's sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity; 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.
Who is the man that feareth the LORD? Him doth he show the way which he should choose.
13 His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land.
He shall himself dwell in prosperity, And his offspring shall inherit the land.
14 The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.
The friendship of the LORD is with them that fear him, And he will teach them his covenant.
15 My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.
Mine eyes are ever directed to the LORD, For he will pluck my feet from the net.
16 Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
Look upon me, and pity me; For I am desolate and afflicted!
17 The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.
Lighten the sorrows of my heart, And deliver me from my troubles!
18 See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.
Look upon my affliction and distress, And forgive all my sins!
19 Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.
Consider how many are my enemies, And with what violence they hate me!
20 Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.
Guard thou my life, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in thee!
21 The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For on thee do I rest my hope!
22 Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
Redeem Israel, O God! from all his troubles!
