Psalms 25

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

Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

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

In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.

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

Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.

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

Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.

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

Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.

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

Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.

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

The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

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

The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.

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

He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.

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

All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.

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

For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.

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

Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.

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

His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land.

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

The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.

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

My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.

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

Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.

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

The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.

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

See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.

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

Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.

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

Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.

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

The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.

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

Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
