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 ashamed, 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.

Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.

4 Show me, O Lord, thy ways; teach me thy paths.

Show me 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 of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

6 Remember thy mercies, O Lord, and thy kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.

Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they [have been] ever 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 sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: 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 upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

9 He guideth the meek in justice, and he teacheth the meek his way.

The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

10 All the paths of the Lord are kindness and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

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?

What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose.

13 His soul shall abide in happiness: and his seed shall inherit the land.

His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret counsel of the Lord is for those that fear him, and his covenant—to make it known to them.

The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

15 My eyes are ever [directed] toward the Lord; for he will draw out of the net my feet.

My eyes [are] ever towards the LORD; for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

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

Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted.

17 The distresses of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my afflictions.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18 Look on my misery and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.

Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

19 Look at my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with the hatred of violence.

Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 Oh, guard my soul; and deliver me: let me not be put to shame; for I put my trust in thee.

O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness guard me; for I wait on thee.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

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

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