Psalm 25:title–22

Teach Me Your Paths

25¹ Of David.

¹To you, O Lord, I ^olift up my soul.

²O my God, in you I ^ptrust;

^qlet me not be put to shame;

^rlet not my enemies exult over me.

³Indeed, ^snone who wait for you shall be put to shame;

they shall be ashamed who are ^twantonly ^utreacherous.

^4vMake me to know your ways, O Lord;

teach me your paths.

⁵Lead me in your ^wtruth and teach me,

for you are the God of my salvation;

for you I wait all the day long.

⁶Remember your ^xmercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,

^yfor they have been from of old.

⁷Remember not ^zthe sins of my youth or my transgressions;

according to your ^asteadfast love remember me,

for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

^8bGood and upright is the Lord;

therefore he ^cinstructs sinners in the way.

⁹He leads the humble in what is right,

and teaches the humble his way.

¹⁰All the paths of the Lord are ^dsteadfast love and faithfulness,

for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹¹For your ^ename’s sake, O Lord,

pardon my guilt, for it is ^fgreat.

¹²Who is the man who fears the Lord?

Him ^cwill he instruct in the way that he should choose.

¹³His soul shall ^gabide in well-being,

and his ^hoffspring ⁱshall inherit the land.

^14jThe friendship² of the Lord is for those who fear him,

and he makes known to them his covenant.

¹⁵My ^keyes are ever toward the Lord,

for he will ^lpluck my feet out of the net.

^16mTurn to me and be gracious to me,

for I am lonely and afflicted.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

¹⁸ⁿConsider my affliction and my trouble,

and forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider how many are my foes,

and with what violent hatred they hate me.

²⁰Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!

^oLet me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

²¹May integrity and uprightness preserve me,

for I wait for you.

^22pRedeem Israel, O God,

out of all his troubles.
