Psalms 25
-
1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
-
2 O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.
-
3 Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.
-
4 Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.
-
5 Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.
-
6 Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old.
-
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness’ sake, O Jehovah.
-
8 Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.
-
9 The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.
-
10 All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
-
11 For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
-
12 What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.
-
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.
-
14 The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant.
-
15 Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.
-
16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted.
-
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.
-
18 Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.
-
19 Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.
-
20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.
-
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee.
-
22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all his troubles.
