Psalms 25
1 A psalm of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my heart: all the day I wait for you.
Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 In you I trust, put me not to shame; let not my foes exult over me.
in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
3 None will be shamed who wait for you, but shame will fall upon wanton traitors.
Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.
4 Make me, O Lord, to know your ways: teach me your paths.
Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.
5 In your faithfulness guide me and teach me, for you are my God and my saviour.
Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.
6 Remember your pity, O Lord, and your kindness, for they have been ever of old.
Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth; remember me in kindness, because of your goodness, Lord.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.
8 Good is the Lord and upright, so he teaches sinners the way.
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.
9 The humble he guides in the right, he teaches the humble his way.
He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.
10 All his ways are loving and loyal to those who observe his charges and covenant.
All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.
11 Be true to your name Lord, forgive my many sins.
For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Who then is the person who fears the Lord? He will teach them the way to choose.
Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.
13 They will live in prosperity, their children will inherit the land.
His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 The Lord gives guidance to those who fear him, and with his covenant he makes them acquainted.
The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for out of the net he brings my foot.
My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
16 Turn to me with your favour, for I am lonely and crushed
Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 In my heart are strain and storm; bring me out of my distresses.
The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
18 Look on my misery and trouble, and pardon all my sins,
Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.
19 look on my foes oh, so many! And their cruel hatred towards me.
Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.
20 Deliver me, keep me, and shame not one who takes refuge in you.
Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
21 May integrity and innocence preserve me, for I wait for you, O Lord.
May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distresses.
Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
