Psalms 25

1 [By David.] To you, LORD, do I lift up my soul.

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

2 My God, I have trusted in you. Do not let me be shamed. Do not let my enemies triumph over me.

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

3 Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

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

4 Show me your ways, LORD. Teach me your paths.

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

5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.

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

6 LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.

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

7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness' sake, LORD.

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

8 Good and upright is the LORD, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

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

9 He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.

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

10 All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

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

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

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

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

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

13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the land.

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

14 The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

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

15 My eyes are ever on the LORD, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

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

16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.

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

17 Relieve me from the distresses of my heart, and bring me out of my distresses.

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

18 Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.

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

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.

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

20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.

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

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you, LORD.

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

22 Redeem Israel, God, from all of his troubles.

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