< Psalms 25 >
1 A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, lift I vp my soule.
A Psalm of David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
2 My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee.
O my God, I have trusted in thee: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.
3 So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgresse without cause.
For none of them that wait on thee shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
4 Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths.
Shew me thy ways, O Lord; and teach me thy paths.
5 Leade me foorth in thy trueth, and teache me: for thou art the God of my saluation: in thee doe I trust all the day.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art God my Saviour: and I have waited on thee all the day.
6 Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer.
Remember thy compassions, O Lord, and thy mercies, for they are from everlasting.
7 Remember not the sinnes of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindenesse remember thou me, euen for thy goodnesse sake, O Lord.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to thy mercy, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
8 Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way.
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.
9 Them that be meeke, will hee guide in iudgement, and teach the humble his way.
The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.
10 All the pathes of the Lord are mercie and trueth vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy Names sake, O Lord, be merciful vnto mine iniquitie, for it is great.
For thy name's sake, O Lord, do thou also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.
12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him wil he teache the way that hee shall chuse.
Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.
13 His soule shall dwell at ease, and his seede shall inherite the land.
His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding.
The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.
15 Mine eyes are euer towarde the Lord: for he will bring my feete out of the net.
Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.
16 Turne thy face vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon me: for I am desolate and poore.
Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.
17 The sorowes of mine heart are enlarged: drawe me out of my troubles.
The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.
18 Looke vpon mine affliction and my trauel, and forgiue all my sinnes.
Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
19 Beholde mine enemies, for they are manie, and they hate me with cruell hatred.
Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.
20 Keepe my soule, and deliuer me: let me not be confounded, for I trust in thee.
Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in thee.
21 Let mine vprightnes and equitie preserue me: for mine hope is in thee.
The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for thee, O Lord.
22 Deliuer Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
