Psalms 25
1 A Psalm of David. To you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
A psalm of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my heart: all the day I wait for you.
2 O my God, I have trusted in you: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.
In you I trust, put me not to shame; let not my foes exult over me.
3 For none of them that wait on you shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
None will be shamed who wait for you, but shame will fall upon wanton traitors.
4 Show me your ways, O Lord; and teach me your paths.
Make me, O Lord, to know your ways: teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my Saviour: and I have waited on you all the day.
In your faithfulness guide me and teach me, for you are my God and my savior.
6 Remember your compassions, O Lord, and your mercies, for they are from everlasting.
Remember your pity, O Lord, and your kindness, for they have been ever of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to your mercy, for your goodness' sake, O Lord.
Do not remember the sins of my youth; remember me in kindness, because of your goodness, Lord.
8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.
Good is the Lord and upright, so he teaches sinners the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.
The humble he guides in the right, he teaches the humble his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.
All his ways are loving and loyal to those who observe his charges and covenant.
11 For your name's sake, O Lord, do you also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.
Be true to your name Lord, forgive my many sins.
12 Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.
Who then is the person who fears the Lord? He will teach them the way to choose.
13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
They will live in prosperity, their children will inherit the land.
14 The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.
The Lord gives guidance to those who fear him, and with his covenant he makes them acquainted.
15 Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.
My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for out of the net he brings my foot.
16 Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.
Turn to me with your favor, for I am lonely and crushed
17 The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.
In my heart are strain and storm; bring me out of my distresses.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
Look on my misery and trouble, and pardon all my sins,
19 Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.
look on my foes oh, so many! And their cruel hatred towards me.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in you.
Deliver me, keep me, and shame not one who takes refuge in you.
21 The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for you, O Lord.
May integrity and innocence preserve me, for I wait for you, O Lord.
22 Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distresses.
