Psalms 25

1 A psalm of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my heart: all the day I wait for you.

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

2 In you I trust, put me not to shame; let not my foes exult over me.

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

3 None will be shamed who wait for you, but shame will fall upon wanton traitors.

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

4 Make me, O Lord, to know your ways: teach me your paths.

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

5 In your faithfulness guide me and teach me, for you are my God and my saviour.

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.

6 Remember your pity, O Lord, and your kindness, for they have been ever of old.

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

7 Do not remember the sins of my youth; remember me in kindness, because of your goodness, Lord.

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.

8 Good is the Lord and upright, so he teaches sinners the way.

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

9 The humble he guides in the right, he teaches the humble his way.

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

10 All his ways are loving and loyal to those who observe his charges and covenant.

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

11 Be true to your name Lord, forgive my many sins.

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

12 Who then is the person who fears the Lord? He will teach them the way to choose.

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

13 They will live in prosperity, their children will inherit the land.

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

14 The Lord gives guidance to those who fear him, and with his covenant he makes them acquainted.

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

15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for out of the net he brings my foot.

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

16 Turn to me with your favour, for I am lonely and crushed

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

17 In my heart are strain and storm; bring me out of my distresses.

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

18 Look on my misery and trouble, and pardon all my sins,

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

19 look on my foes oh, so many! And their cruel hatred towards me.

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

20 Deliver me, keep me, and shame not one who takes refuge in you.

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

21 May integrity and innocence preserve me, for I wait for you, O Lord.

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

22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distresses.

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