Psalm XXV.

A Psalm of David.

(א) Unto thee, O Lord, do I alift up my soul.

2  O my God, (ב) I btrust in thee: clet me not be ashamed,

dLet not mine enemies triumph over me.

3  (ג) Yea, let enone that wait on thee be ashamed:

eeLet them be ashamed which ftransgress without cause.

4  (ד) gShew me thy ways, O Lord; ggTeach me thy paths.

5  (ה) hLead me in thy truth, and teach me:

For thou art the God of my salvation;

On thee do I wait all the day.

6  (ז) Remember, O Lord, * thy tender mercies and ithy lovingkindnesses;

For they have been ever of old.

7  (ח) Remember not jthe sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:

kAccording to thy mercy remember thou me

For thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

8  (ט) kkGood and upright is the Lord:

hTherefore will he teach sinners in the way.

9  (י) The meek will he lguide in judgment:

And the meek will he lteach his way.

10  (כ) All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth

Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11  (ל) mFor thy name’s sake, O Lord,

Pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

12  (מ) What man is he that feareth the Lord?

nHim shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

13  (נ) His soul * shall odwell at ease;

And oohis seed pshall inherit the earth.

14  (ס) qThe secret of the Lord is with them that fear him;

* And he will shew them his covenant.

15  (ע) rMine eyes are ever towards the Lord;

For he shall * pluck my feet out of sthe net.

16  (פ) tTurn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;

For I am udesolate and afflicted.

17  (צ) The troubles of my heart are enlarged:

O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18  (ר) wLook upon mine affliction and my pain;

And forgive all my sins.

19  (ר) Consider mine enemies; for they are many;

And they hate me with * cruel hatred.

20  (ש) O keep my soul, and deliver me:

xLet me not be ashamed; yfor I put my trust in thee.

21  (ת) Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;

For I wait on thee.

22  (פ) * zRedeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
