Psalm 25

A Psalm of David.

25:1

¶ Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

25:2

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

25:3

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

25:4

Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

25:5

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

25:6

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

25:7

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

25:8

Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

25:9

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

25:10

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

25:11

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

25:12

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

25:13

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

25:14

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

25:15

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

25:16

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

25:17

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

25:18

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

25:19

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

25:20

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

25:21

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

25:22

Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
