Psalm 25

Psalm 25

A Psalm of David.

¹To ^aYou, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

²O my God, I ^btrust in You;

Let me not be ashamed;

^cLet not my enemies triumph over me.

³Indeed, let no one who ¹waits on You be ashamed;

Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

^4dShow me Your ways, O Lord;

Teach me Your paths.

⁵Lead me in Your truth and teach me,

For You are the God of my salvation;

On You I wait all the day.

⁶Remember, O Lord, ^eYour tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,

For they are from of old.

⁷Do not remember ^fthe sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;

^gAccording to Your mercy remember me,

For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

⁸Good and upright is the Lord;

Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.

⁹The humble He guides in justice,

And the humble He teaches His way.

¹⁰All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth,

To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

^11hFor Your name’s sake, O Lord,

Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

¹²Who is the man that fears the Lord?

ⁱHim shall ²He teach in the way He chooses.

^13jHe himself shall dwell in ³prosperity,

And ^khis descendants shall inherit the earth.

^14lThe secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him,

And He will show them His covenant.

^15mMy eyes are ever toward the Lord,

For He shall ⁴pluck my feet out of the net.

¹⁶ⁿTurn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me,

For I am ⁵desolate and afflicted.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart have enlarged;

Bring me out of my distresses!

^18oLook on my affliction and my pain,

And forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider my enemies, for they are many;

And they hate me with ⁶cruel hatred.

²⁰Keep my soul, and deliver me;

Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,

For I wait for You.

^22pRedeem Israel, O God,

Out of all their troubles!
