The Psalms
Psalm 25
A Psalm of David.
25:1Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
25:2O my God, in thee have I trusted,
Let me not be put to shame;
Let not mine enemies triumph over me.
25:3Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame:
They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.
25:4Show me thy ways, O Jehovah;
Teach me thy paths.
25:5Guide me in thy truth, and teach me;
For thou art the God of my salvation;
For thee do I wait all the day.
25:6Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness;
For they have been ever of old.
25:7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me,
For thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.
25:8Good and upright is Jehovah:
Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.
25:9The meek will he guide in justice;
And the meek will he teach his way.
25:10All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth
Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
25:11For thy name's sake, O Jehovah,
Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
25:12What man is he that feareth Jehovah?
Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.
25:13His soul shall dwell at ease;
And his seed shall inherit the land.
25:14The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him;
And he will show them his covenant.
25:15Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah;
For he will pluck my feet out of the net.
25:16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;
For I am desolate and afflicted.
25:17The troubles of my heart are enlarged:
Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.
25:18Consider mine affliction and my travail;
And forgive all my sins.
25:19Consider mine enemies, for they are many;
And they hate me with cruel hatred.
25:20Oh keep my soul, and deliver me:
Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.
25:21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for thee.
25:22Redeem Israel, O God,
Out all of his troubles.
