Psalms 25
To You I Lift Up My Soul
Of David.
1in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.2Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.
3Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.
4Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.
5Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.
6Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.
7Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.
8He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.
9All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.
10For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.
11Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.
12His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
13The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.
14My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
15Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
16The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
17Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.
18Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.
19Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
20May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.
21Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
