Psalms 25
25
By David.
1 To you, LORD, I lift up my soul.
2My God, I have trusted in you.
Don’t let me be shamed.
Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.
3 Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed.
They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Show me your ways, LORD.
Teach me your paths.
5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation.
I wait for you all day long.
6 LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness,
for they are from old times.
7Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.
Remember me according to your loving kindness,
for your goodness’ sake, LORD.
8 Good 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.
10 All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth
to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your name’s sake, LORD,
pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 What man is he who fears the LORD?
He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul will dwell at ease.
His offspring will inherit the land.
14 The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him.
He will show them his covenant.
15 My eyes are ever on the LORD,
for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me,
for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged.
Oh bring me out of my distresses.
18 Consider my affliction and my travail.
Forgive all my sins.
19 Consider 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.
22God, redeem Israel
out of all his troubles.

Psalms 25
25
# 25 This psalm is a Hebrew acrostic poem; each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. A psalm of David.
1O Lord, I give my life to you.
2I trust in you, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
3No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced,
but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
4Show me the right path, O Lord;
point out the road for me to follow.
5Lead me by your truth and teach me,
for you are the God who saves me.
All day long I put my hope in you.
6Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love,
which you have shown from long ages past.
7Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.
Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,
for you are merciful, O Lord.
8The Lord is good and does what is right;
he shows the proper path to those who go astray.
9He leads the humble in doing right,
teaching them his way.
10The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness
all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.
11For the honor of your name, O Lord,
forgive my many, many sins.
12Who are those who fear the Lord?
He will show them the path they should choose.
13They will live in prosperity,
and their children will inherit the land.
14The Lord is a friend to those who fear him.
He teaches them his covenant.
15My eyes are always on the Lord,
for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.
16Turn to me and have mercy,
for I am alone and in deep distress.
17My problems go from bad to worse.
Oh, save me from them all!
18Feel my pain and see my trouble.
Forgive all my sins.
19See how many enemies I have
and how viciously they hate me!
20Protect me! Rescue my life from them!
Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge.
21May integrity and honesty protect me,
for I put my hope in you.
22O God, ransom Israel
from all its troubles.
