Psalm 25:1–22

¹In you, Lord my God,

I put my trust.^z

²I trust in you;^a

do not let me be put to shame,

nor let my enemies triumph over me.

³No one who hopes in you

will ever be put to shame,^b

but shame will come on those

who are treacherous^c without cause.

⁴Show me your ways, Lord,

teach me your paths.^d

⁵Guide me in your truth^e and teach me,

for you are God my Savior,^f

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

⁶Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,^h

for they are from of old.

⁷Do not remember the sins of my youthⁱ

and my rebellious ways;^j

according to your love^k remember me,

for you, Lord, are good.^l

⁸Good and upright^m is the Lord;

therefore he instructsⁿ sinners in his ways.

⁹He guides^o the humble in what is right

and teaches them^p his way.

¹⁰All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful^q

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

¹¹For the sake of your name,^s Lord,

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

¹²Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?^v

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

¹³They will spend their days in prosperity,^x

and their descendants will inherit the land.^y

¹⁴The Lord confides^z in those who fear him;

he makes his covenant known^a to them.

¹⁵My eyes are ever on the Lord,^b

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

¹⁶Turn to me^d and be gracious to me,^e

for I am lonely^f and afflicted.

¹⁷Relieve the troubles^g of my heart

and free me from my anguish.^h

¹⁸Look on my afflictionⁱ and my distress^j

and take away all my sins.^k

¹⁹See how numerous are my enemies^l

and how fiercely they hate me!^m

²⁰Guard my lifeⁿ and rescue me;^o

do not let me be put to shame,^p

for I take refuge^q in you.

²¹May integrity^r and uprightness^s protect me,

because my hope, Lord,^c is in you.^t

²²Deliver Israel,^u O God,

from all their troubles!
