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
Psalm 25#25.0 Ps 25 is an alphabetic acrostic poem; see the note at Pss 9–10.
Of David.
1I offer my life#25.1 Or soul; also in 25:13, 20 to you, LORD.
2My God, I trust you.
Please don’t let me be put to shame!
Don’t let my enemies rejoice over me!
3For that matter,
don’t let anyone who hopes in you
be put to shame;
instead, let those who are treacherous without excuse be put to shame.
4Make your ways known to me, LORD;
teach me your paths.
5Lead me in your truth—teach it to me—
because you are the God who saves me.
I put my hope in you all day long.
6 LORD, remember your compassion and faithful love—
they are forever!
7But don’t remember the sins of my youth or my wrongdoing.
Remember me only according to your faithful love
for the sake of your goodness, LORD.
8The LORD is good and does the right thing;
he teaches sinners which way they should go.
9God guides the weak to justice,
teaching them his way.
10All the LORD’s paths are loving and faithful
for those who keep his covenant and laws.
11Please, for the sake of your good name, LORD, forgive my sins, which are many!
12Where are the ones who honor the LORD?
God will teach them which path to take.
13They will live a good life,
and their descendants will possess the land.
14The LORD counsels those who honor him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
15My eyes are always looking to the LORD
because he will free my feet from the net.
16Turn to me, God, and have mercy on me
because I’m alone and suffering.
17My heart’s troubles keep getting bigger—
set me free from my distress!
18Look at my suffering and trouble—
forgive all my sins!
19Look at how many enemies I have
and how violently they hate me!
20Please protect my life! Deliver me!
Don’t let me be put to shame
because I take refuge in you.
21Let integrity and virtue guard me
because I hope in you.
22Please, God, save Israel from all its troubles!
