Psalm 25
25
Teach Me Your Paths
# 25:1 This psalm is an acrostic poem, each verse beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet Of David.
1To you, O Lord, I #Ps. 86:4; 143:8; Lam. 3:41; [Ps. 24:4]lift up my soul.
2O my God, in you I #See Ps. 11:1 trust;
# ver. 20; Ps. 31:1, 17; 71:1 let me not be put to shame;
# [Ps. 13:4] let not my enemies exult over me.
3Indeed, #Isa. 49:23; [Rom. 5:5; Phil. 1:20] none who wait for you shall be put to shame;
they shall be ashamed who are #[Ps. 59:3, 4] wantonly #[Jer. 3:20]treacherous.
4 #
Ps. 27:11; 86:11; 143:8, 10; Ex. 33:13; [Ps. 5:8; 119:35] Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
5Lead me in your #Ps. 26:3; 86:11truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long.
6Remember your #Ps. 51:1; [Ps. 103:17; Isa. 63:15] mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
# [Gen. 8:1; 9:15; 19:29] for they have been from of old.
7Remember not #Job 13:26; 20:11; Jer. 3:25 the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your #Ps. 51:1steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!
8 #
Ps. 100:5 Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he #Ps. 32:8instructs sinners in the way.
9He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
10All the paths of the Lord are #[John 1:17]steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11For your #See Ps. 23:3 name’s sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is #[Rom. 5:20]great.
12Who is the man who fears the Lord?
Him #[See ver. 8 above]will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
13His soul shall #[Prov. 1:33; 19:23] abide in well-being,
and his #Ps. 112:2 offspring #See Ps. 37:9shall inherit the land.
14 # [Amos 3:7; See Job 29:4] The friendship#25:14 Or The secret counsel of the Lord is for those who fear him,
and he makes known to them his covenant.
15My #Ps. 123:1, 2; 141:8; [2 Chr. 20:12] eyes are ever toward the Lord,
for he will #Ps. 31:4pluck my feet out of the net.
16 #
Ps. 69:16; 86:16; 119:132 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
bring me out of my distresses.
18 # [Job 10:15] Consider my affliction and my trouble,
and forgive all my sins.
19Consider how many are my foes,
and with what violent hatred they hate me.
20Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!
# See ver. 2 Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
21May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I wait for you.
22 #
Ps. 34:22; 71:23; 130:8; Lam. 3:58; [2 Sam. 4:9] Redeem Israel, O God,
out of all his troubles.

Tehillim (Psa) 25
25
1By David:
I lift my inner being to you, Adonai;
2I trust you, my God.
Don’t let me be disgraced,
don’t let my enemies gloat over me.
3No one waiting for you will be disgraced;
disgrace awaits those who break faith for no reason.
4Make me know your ways, Adonai,
teach me your paths.
5Guide me in your truth, and teach me;
for you are the God who saves me,
my hope is in you all day long.
6Remember your compassion and grace, Adonai;
for these are ages old.
7Don’t remember my youthful sins or transgressions;
but remember me according to your grace
for the sake of your goodness, Adonai.
8Adonai is good, and he is fair;
this is why he teaches sinners the way [to live],
9leads the humble to do what is right
and teaches the humble [to live] his way.
10All Adonai’s paths are grace and truth
to those who keep his covenant and instructions.
11For the sake of your name, Adonai,
forgive my wickedness, great though it is.
12Who is the person who fears Adonai?
He will teach him the way to choose.
13He will remain prosperous,
and his descendants will inherit the land.
14Adonai relates intimately with those who fear him;
he makes them know his covenant.
15My eyes are always directed toward Adonai,
for he will free my feet from the net.
16Turn to me, and show me your favor;
for I am alone and oppressed.
17The troubles of my heart are growing and growing;
bring me out of my distress.
18See my affliction and suffering,
and take all my sins away.
19Consider my enemies, how many there are
and how cruelly they hate me.
20Protect me and rescue me;
don’t let me be disgraced,
for I take refuge in you.
21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
because my hope is in you.
22God! Redeem Isra’el
from all their troubles!
