Psalm 25

Psalm 25

Dependence on the Lord

Davidic.

¹Lord, ^jI turn to You. ^kl

²My God, I trust in You.

Do not let me be disgraced; ^m

do not let my enemies gloat over me. ⁿ

³No one who waits for You

will be disgraced; ^o

those who act treacherously without cause

will be disgraced. ^p

⁴Make Your ways known to me, Lord;

teach me Your paths. ^q

⁵Guide me in Your truth and teach me, ^r

for You are the God of my salvation; ^s

I wait for You all day long. ^t

⁶Remember, Lord, Your compassion

and Your faithful love,

for they have existed from antiquity. ^uv

⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth ^w

or my acts of rebellion; ^x

in keeping with Your faithful love, remember me

because of Your goodness, Lord. ^y

⁸The Lord is good and upright; ^z

therefore He shows sinners the way. ^a

⁹He leads the humble in what is right ^b

and teaches them His way. ^c

¹⁰All the Lord’s ways show faithful love and truth

to those who keep His covenant and decrees. ^d

¹¹Because of Your name, Yahweh,

forgive my sin, for it is great. ^e

¹²Who is the man who fears the Lord? ^f

He will show him the way he should choose. ^g

¹³He will live a good life,

and his descendants will inherit the land. ^hi

¹⁴The secret counsel of the Lord

is for those who fear Him,

and He reveals His covenant to them. ^j

¹⁵My eyes are always on the Lord,

for He will pull my feet out of the net. ^k

¹⁶Turn to me and be gracious to me,

for I am alone and afflicted. ^l

¹⁷The distresses of my heart increase; ^mn

bring me out of my sufferings. ^o

¹⁸Consider my affliction and trouble, ^p

and take away all my sins. ^q

¹⁹Consider my enemies; they are numerous, ^r

and they hate me violently. ^s

²⁰Guard me and deliver me; ^t

do not let me be put to shame,

for I take refuge in You. ^u

²¹May integrity and what is right

watch over me,

for I wait for You. ^v

²²God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses. ^w
