Psalms 25

1 A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, lift I vp my soule.

Of David. To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.

2 My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee.

O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.

3 So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgresse without cause.

Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.

4 Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths.

Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.

5 Leade me foorth in thy trueth, and teache me: for thou art the God of my saluation: in thee doe I trust all the day.

Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.

6 Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer.

O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.

7 Remember not the sinnes of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindenesse remember thou me, euen for thy goodnesse sake, O Lord.

Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.

8 Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way.

Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.

9 Them that be meeke, will hee guide in iudgement, and teach the humble his way.

He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.

10 All the pathes of the Lord are mercie and trueth vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies.

All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.

11 For thy Names sake, O Lord, be merciful vnto mine iniquitie, for it is great.

Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.

12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him wil he teache the way that hee shall chuse.

If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.

13 His soule shall dwell at ease, and his seede shall inherite the land.

His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.

14 The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding.

The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.

15 Mine eyes are euer towarde the Lord: for he will bring my feete out of the net.

My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.

16 Turne thy face vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon me: for I am desolate and poore.

Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.

17 The sorowes of mine heart are enlarged: drawe me out of my troubles.

The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.

18 Looke vpon mine affliction and my trauel, and forgiue all my sinnes.

Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.

19 Beholde mine enemies, for they are manie, and they hate me with cruell hatred.

See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.

20 Keepe my soule, and deliuer me: let me not be confounded, for I trust in thee.

O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.

21 Let mine vprightnes and equitie preserue me: for mine hope is in thee.

For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you.

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

Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles.
