Psalm 25

Of David.

¹In you, Lord my God,

I put my trust.

²I trust in you;

do not let me be put to shame,

nor let my enemies triumph over me.

³No one who hopes in you

will ever be put to shame,

but shame will come on those

who are treacherous without cause.

⁴Show me your ways, Lord,

teach me your paths.

⁵Guide me in your truth and teach me,

for you are God my Savior,

and my hope is in you all day long.

⁶Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,

for they are from of old.

⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth

and my rebellious ways;

according to your love remember me,

for you, Lord, are good.

⁸Good and upright is the Lord;

therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

⁹He guides the humble in what is right

and teaches them his way.

¹⁰All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful

toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.

¹¹For the sake of your name, Lord,

forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

¹²Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?

He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.

¹³They will spend their days in prosperity,

and their descendants will inherit the land.

¹⁴The Lord confides in those who fear him;

he makes his covenant known to them.

¹⁵My eyes are ever on the Lord,

for only he will release my feet from the snare.

¹⁶Turn to me and be gracious to me,

for I am lonely and afflicted.

¹⁷Relieve the troubles of my heart

and free me from my anguish.

¹⁸Look on my affliction and my distress

and take away all my sins.

¹⁹See how numerous are my enemies

and how fiercely they hate me!

²⁰Guard my life and rescue me;

do not let me be put to shame,

for I take refuge in you.

²¹May integrity and uprightness protect me,

because my hope, Lord, is in you.

²²Deliver Israel, O God,

from all their troubles!
