Psalms 25
1 Unto you, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
“Of David.” Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, I trust in you: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
O my God, in thee do I trust, let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me.
3 Yea, let none that wait on you be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Yea, none that wait on thee will be put to shame: let those be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Show me your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.
Show me, O Lord, thy ways; teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are the God of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation: on thee do I wait all the day.
6 Remember, O LORD, your tender mercies and your loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
Remember thy mercies, O Lord, and thy kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to your mercy remember you me for your goodness' sake, O LORD.
The sins of my youth and my transgressions do not remember: according to thy kindness bear thou me in remembrance, for the sake of thy goodness, O Lord.
8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore he pointeth out to sinners the right way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
He guideth the meek in justice, and he teacheth the meek his way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
All the paths of the Lord are kindness and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
For the sake of thy name, O Lord, pardon my iniquity: although it is great.
12 What man is he that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
Who is that man that feareth the Lord? to him will he point out the way which he is to choose?
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
His soul shall abide in happiness: and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
The secret counsel of the Lord is for those that fear him, and his covenant—to make it known to them.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
My eyes are ever [directed] toward the Lord; for he will draw out of the net my feet.
16 Turn you unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring you me out of my distresses.
The distresses of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my afflictions.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
Look on my misery and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
Look at my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with the hatred of violence.
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.
Oh, guard my soul; and deliver me: let me not be put to shame; for I put my trust in thee.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.
Let integrity and uprightness guard me; for I wait on thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Redeem, O God, Israel out of all his distresses.
