Psalm 25

¹To you, LORD, I lift up my soul.

²My God, I have trusted in you.

Don’t let me be shamed.

Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.

³Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed.

They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

⁴Show me your ways, LORD.

Teach me your paths.

⁵Guide me in your truth, and teach me,

For you are the God of my salvation.

I wait for you all day long.

⁶LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness,

for they are from old times.

⁷Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.

Remember me according to your loving kindness,

for your goodness’ sake, LORD.

⁸Good and upright is the LORD,

therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

⁹He will guide the humble in justice.

He will teach the humble his way.

¹⁰All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth

to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹¹For your name’s sake, LORD,

pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

¹²What man is he who fears the LORD?

He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

¹³His soul will dwell at ease.

His offspring will inherit the land.

¹⁴The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him.

He will show them his covenant.

¹⁵My eyes are ever on the LORD,

for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

¹⁶Turn to me, and have mercy on me,

for I am desolate and afflicted.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged.

Oh bring me out of my distresses.

¹⁸Consider my affliction and my travail.

Forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider my enemies, for they are many.

They hate me with cruel hatred.

²⁰Oh keep my soul, and deliver me.

Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,

for I wait for you.

²²God, redeem Israel

out of all his troubles.
