Psalms 25
1 Unto you, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
“A psalm of David.” To 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! I trust in thee; let me not be put to shame! 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 hope in thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame who wickedly forsake thee.
4 Show me your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.
Cause me to know thy ways, O LORD! 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 from whom cometh my help; In thee do I trust at all times!
6 Remember, O LORD, your tender mercies and your loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
Remember thy loving-kindness, O LORD! and thy tender mercy, Which thou hast exercised of old!
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to your mercy remember you me for your 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 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
Good and righteous is the LORD; Therefore showeth he to sinners the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
The humble he guideth in his statutes, And the humble he teacheth his way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep 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 your name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
For thy name's sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity; for 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 the man that feareth the LORD? Him doth he show the way which he should choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
He shall himself dwell in prosperity, And his offspring shall inherit the land.
14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
The friendship of the LORD is with them that fear him, And he will teach them his covenant.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
Mine eyes are ever directed to the LORD, For he will pluck my feet from the net.
16 Turn you unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
Look upon me, and pity me; For I am desolate and afflicted!
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring you me out of my distresses.
Lighten the sorrows of my heart, And deliver me from my troubles!
18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
Look upon my affliction and distress, And forgive all my sins!
19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
Consider how many are my enemies, And with what violence they hate me!
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.
Guard thou my life, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in thee!
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For on thee do I rest my hope!
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Redeem Israel, O God! from all his troubles!
