Psalms 25
1 A psalm of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my heart: all the day I wait for you.
Unto you, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
2 In you I trust, put me not to shame; let not my foes exult over me.
O my God, I trust in you: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 None will be shamed who wait for you, but shame will fall upon wanton traitors.
Yea, let none that wait on you be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 Make me, O Lord, to know your ways: teach me your paths.
Show me your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.
5 In your faithfulness guide me and teach me, for you are my God and my savior.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are the God of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day.
6 Remember your pity, O Lord, and your kindness, for they have been ever of old.
Remember, O LORD, your tender mercies and your loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth; remember me in kindness, because of your goodness, Lord.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to your mercy remember you me for your goodness' sake, O LORD.
8 Good is the Lord and upright, so he teaches sinners the way.
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The humble he guides in the right, he teaches the humble his way.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All his ways are loving and loyal to those who observe his charges and covenant.
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Be true to your name Lord, forgive my many sins.
For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 Who then is the person who fears the Lord? He will teach them the way to choose.
What man is he that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 They will live in prosperity, their children will inherit the land.
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The Lord gives guidance to those who fear him, and with his covenant he makes them acquainted.
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for out of the net he brings my foot.
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn to me with your favor, for I am lonely and crushed
Turn you unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 In my heart are strain and storm; bring me out of my distresses.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring you me out of my distresses.
18 Look on my misery and trouble, and pardon all my sins,
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19 look on my foes oh, so many! And their cruel hatred towards me.
Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Deliver me, keep me, and shame not one who takes refuge in you.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.
21 May integrity and innocence preserve me, for I wait for you, O Lord.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distresses.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
