Psalm 25

25:1

Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

25:2

in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.

25:3

Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.

25:4

Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.

25:5

Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.

25:6

Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.

25:7

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.

25:8

Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.

25:9

He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.

25:10

All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.

25:11

For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

25:12

Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.

25:13

His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.

25:14

The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.

25:15

My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.

25:16

Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.

25:17

The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.

25:18

Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.

25:19

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

25:20

Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.

25:21

May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.

25:22

Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
