Psalms 25 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 25
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.
2Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.
3For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.
4I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.
5I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.
6I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,
7so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.
8O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.
9O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,
10in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.
11But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.
12My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
Psalms 25
1Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
8Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall 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: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
