Psalms 25

A Psalm of David.

1Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul. 2O my God, in thee have I trusted,Let me not be put to shame;Let not mine enemies triumph over me. 3Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame:They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause. 4Show me thy ways, O Jehovah;Teach me thy paths. 5Guide me in thy truth, and teach me;For thou art the God of my salvation;For thee do I wait all the day. 6Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness;For they have been ever of old. 7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me,For thy goodness’ sake, O Jehovah. 8Good and upright is Jehovah:Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way. 9The meek will he guide in justice;And the meek will he teach his way. 10All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truthUnto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 11For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah,Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great. 12What man is he that feareth Jehovah?Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose. 13His soul shall dwell at ease;And his seed shall inherit the land. 14The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him;And he will show them his covenant. 15Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah;For he will pluck my feet out of the net. 16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;For I am desolate and afflicted. 17The troubles of my heart are enlarged:Oh bring thou me out of my distresses. 18Consider mine affliction and my travail;And forgive all my sins. 19Consider mine enemies, for they are many;And they hate me with cruel hatred. 20Oh keep my soul, and deliver me:Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee. 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,For I wait for thee. 22Redeem Israel, O God,Out of all his troubles.
