Psalms 25

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

[A Psalm] of David. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

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

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

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

Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.

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

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

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

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait 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 loving kindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.

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 transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; 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 shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose.

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

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

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

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

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

My eyes [are] ever towards the LORD; for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

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

Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted.

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

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

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

Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive 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 cruel hatred.

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

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

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

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

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

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