Psalms 25

1 Unto you, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

A Psalm of David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

2 O my God, I trust in you: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

O my God, I have trusted in thee: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.

3 Yea, let none that wait on you be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

For none of them that wait on thee shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.

4 Show me your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.

Shew me thy ways, O Lord; and teach me thy paths.

5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are the God of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day.

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art God my Saviour: and I have waited on thee all the day.

6 Remember, O LORD, your tender mercies and your loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Remember thy compassions, O Lord, and thy mercies, for they are from everlasting.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to your mercy remember you me for your goodness' sake, O LORD.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to thy mercy, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.

8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.

9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.

10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

For thy name's sake, O Lord, do thou also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.

12 What man is he that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.

15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.

16 Turn you unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring you me out of my distresses.

The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.

Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.

The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for thee, O Lord.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
