Psalms 25

¹To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.

²O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.

³Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.

⁴Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.

⁵Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.

⁶O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.

⁷Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.

⁸Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.

⁹He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.

¹⁰All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.

¹¹Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.

¹²If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.

¹³His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.

¹⁴The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.

¹⁵My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.

¹⁶Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.

¹⁸Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.

¹⁹See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.

²⁰O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.

²¹For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you.

²²Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles.

¹ALEPH To you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

²My God, I have trusted in you. Do not let me be shamed. Do not let my enemies triumph over me.

³Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

⁴Show me your ways, Lord. Teach me your paths.

⁵Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.

⁶Lord, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.

⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness' sake, Lord.

⁸Good and upright is the Lord, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

⁹He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.

¹⁰All the paths of the Lord are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹¹For your name's sake, Lord, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

¹²What man is he who fears the Lord? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

¹³His soul shall dwell at ease. His seed shall inherit the land.

¹⁴The friendship of the Lord is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

¹⁵My eyes are ever on the Lord, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

¹⁶Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses.

¹⁸Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.

²⁰Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.

²²Redeem Israel, God, from all of his troubles.
