Psalms 25

¹A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, lift I vp my soule.

²My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee.

³So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgresse without cause.

⁴Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths.

⁵Leade me foorth in thy trueth, and teache me: for thou art the God of my saluation: in thee doe I trust all the day.

⁶Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer.

⁷Remember not the sinnes of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindenesse remember thou me, euen for thy goodnesse sake, O Lord.

⁸Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way.

⁹Them that be meeke, will hee guide in iudgement, and teach the humble his way.

¹⁰All the pathes of the Lord are mercie and trueth vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies.

¹¹For thy Names sake, O Lord, be merciful vnto mine iniquitie, for it is great.

¹²What man is he that feareth the Lord? him wil he teache the way that hee shall chuse.

¹³His soule shall dwell at ease, and his seede shall inherite the land.

¹⁴The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding.

¹⁵Mine eyes are euer towarde the Lord: for he will bring my feete out of the net.

¹⁶Turne thy face vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon me: for I am desolate and poore.

¹⁷The sorowes of mine heart are enlarged: drawe me out of my troubles.

¹⁸Looke vpon mine affliction and my trauel, and forgiue all my sinnes.

¹⁹Beholde mine enemies, for they are manie, and they hate me with cruell hatred.

²⁰Keepe my soule, and deliuer me: let me not be confounded, for I trust in thee.

²¹Let mine vprightnes and equitie preserue me: for mine hope is in thee.

²²Deliuer Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

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.
