Psalm 25

Psalm 25¹

Of David.

In you, Lord my God,

I put my trust.^a

I trust in you;^b

do not let me be put to shame,

nor let my enemies triumph over me.

No one who hopes in you

will ever be put to shame,^c

but shame will come on those

who are treacherous^d without cause.

Show me your ways, Lord,

teach me your paths.^e

Guide me in your truth^f and teach me,

for you are God my Savior,^g

and my hope is in you^h all day long.

Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,ⁱ

for they are from of old.

Do not remember the sins of my youth^j

and my rebellious ways;^k

according to your love^l remember me,

for you, Lord, are good.^m

Good and uprightⁿ is the Lord;

therefore he instructs^o sinners in his ways.

He guides^p the humble in what is right

and teaches them^q his way.

All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful^r

toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.^s

For the sake of your name,^t Lord,

forgive^u my iniquity,^v though it is great.

Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?^w

He will instruct them in the ways^x they should choose.

They will spend their days in prosperity,^y

and their descendants will inherit the land.^z

The Lord confides^a in those who fear him;

he makes his covenant known^b to them.

My eyes are ever on the Lord,^c

for only he will release my feet from the snare.^d

Turn to me^e and be gracious to me,^f

for I am lonely^g and afflicted.

Relieve the troubles^h of my heart

and free me from my anguish.ⁱ

Look on my affliction^j and my distress^k

and take away all my sins.^l

See how numerous are my enemies^m

and how fiercely they hate me!ⁿ

Guard my life^o and rescue me;^p

do not let me be put to shame,^q

for I take refuge^r in you.

May integrity^s and uprightness^t protect me,

because my hope, Lord, is in you.^u

Redeem Israel,^v O God,

from all their troubles!
