< Psalms 25

[1] Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

[2] O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

[3] Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

[4] Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

[5] 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, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

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

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

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

[11] For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

[12] What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

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

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

[15] Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

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

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

[18] Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

[19] Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

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

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

[22] Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
