Psalms 25
1 “Of David.” Unto thee, 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, in thee do I trust, let me not be ashamed, let not my 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, none that wait on thee will be put to shame: let those be put to shame who deal treacherously 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, O Lord, thy ways; teach me thy paths.
Cause me to know thy ways, O LORD! Teach me thy paths!
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation: on thee 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 thy mercies, O Lord, and thy kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
Remember thy loving-kindness, O LORD! and thy tender mercy, Which thou hast exercised of old!
7 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.
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 he pointeth out to sinners the right way.
Good and righteous is the LORD; Therefore showeth he to sinners the way.
9 He guideth the meek in justice, and he teacheth the meek his way.
The humble he guideth in his statutes, And the humble he teacheth his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are kindness 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 the sake of thy name, O Lord, pardon my iniquity: although it is great.
For thy name's sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity; for it is great!
12 Who is that man that feareth the Lord? to him will he point out the way which he is to choose?
Who is the man that feareth the LORD? Him doth he show the way which he should choose.
13 His soul shall abide in happiness: and his seed shall inherit the land.
He shall himself dwell in prosperity, And his offspring shall inherit the land.
14 The secret counsel of the Lord is for those that fear him, and his covenant—to make it known to them.
The friendship of the LORD is with them that fear him, And he will teach them his covenant.
15 My eyes are ever [directed] toward the Lord; for he will draw out of the net my feet.
Mine eyes are ever directed to the LORD, For he will pluck my feet from the net.
16 Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
Look upon me, and pity me; For I am desolate and afflicted!
17 The distresses of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my afflictions.
Lighten the sorrows of my heart, And deliver me from my troubles!
18 Look on my misery and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
Look upon my affliction and distress, And forgive all my sins!
19 Look at my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with the hatred of violence.
Consider how many are my enemies, And with what violence they hate me!
20 Oh, guard my soul; and deliver me: let me not be put to shame; for I put my trust in thee.
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 guard me; for I wait on thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For on thee do I rest my hope!
22 Redeem, O God, Israel out of all his distresses.
Redeem Israel, O God! from all his troubles!
