Psalms 25: 1 - 22
By David. |
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. |
