25
Psalm 25#25:0 Psalm 25 is a poem in Hebrew alphabetical order.
By David.
1To you, O Lord, I lift my soul.
2I trust you, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame.
Do not let my enemies triumph over me.
3No one who waits for you will ever be put to shame,
but all who are unfaithful will be put to shame.
4Make your ways known to me, O Lord,
and teach me your paths.
5Lead me in your truth and teach me
because you are God, my savior.
I wait all day long for you.
6Remember, O Lord, your compassionate and merciful deeds.
They have existed from eternity.
7Do not remember the sins of my youth or my rebellious ways.
Remember me, O Lord, in keeping with your mercy and your goodness.
8The Lord is good and decent.
That is why he teaches sinners the way they should live.
9He leads humble people to do what is right,
and he teaches them his way.
10Every path of the Lord is ⌞one of⌟ mercy and truth
for those who cling to his promise #25:10 Or “covenant.” and written instructions.
11For the sake of your name, O Lord,
remove my guilt, because it is great.
12Who, then, is this person that fears the Lord?
He is the one whom the Lord will teach which path to choose.
13He will enjoy good things in life,
and his descendants will inherit the land.
14The Lord advises those who fear him.
He reveals to them the intent of his promise.
15My eyes are always on the Lord.
He removes my feet from traps.
16Turn to me, and have pity on me.
I am lonely and oppressed.
17Relieve my troubled heart,
and bring me out of my distress.
18Look at my misery and suffering,
and forgive all my sins.
19See how my enemies have increased in number,
how they have hated me with vicious hatred!
20Protect my life, and rescue me!
Do not let me be put to shame.
I have taken refuge in you.
21Integrity and honesty will protect me because I wait for you.
22Rescue Israel, O God, from all its troubles!

Psalms 25
25
A psalm of David.
1Lord, I come to worship you.#25:1. Literally, “I lift up my soul to you.”
2I trust in you, my God. Don't let me be humiliated, and don't let my enemies triumph over me.
3No one who trusts in you will be humiliated, but humiliation comes to those who are deliberately dishonest.
4Show me your ways, Lord; teach me to follow your paths.
5Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. All day long I put my trust in you.
6Remember, Lord, your compassion and trustworthy love—they are eternal!
7Please don't remember the sins of my youth when I rebelled against you. Instead, remember me according to your trustworthy love, remember me because of your goodness, Lord.
8The Lord is good and he is right; that is why he shows the way to those who are lost.#25:8. “Those who are lost”: often translated “sinners,” the underlying meaning is “those who miss the right path,” “go astray.”
9He leads those who are humble in doing what's right, teaching them his way.
10The Lord's paths are those of trustworthy love and truth for those who keep his agreement#25:10. Or “covenant.” Also verse 14. and do as he says.
11Lord, because of your nature, forgive my many sins.
12Who are those who respect the Lord? He will show them the path to choose.
13They will continue to be prosperous, and their descendants will inherit the land.
14The Lord is friends with those who respect him, explaining to them his agreement.
15I always look to the Lord, for he rescues me when I'm trapped.#25:15. “Rescues me when I'm trapped”: literally, “pulls my feet out of the net” (for catching birds).
16Watch over me and be good to me, because I am all alone and suffering.
17My problems get bigger and bigger. Please save me from all I'm going through.
18See all my troubles and trials. Please forgive my sins.
19Look at how many enemies I have, and how they really hate me!#25:19. Literally, “hate me with violent hatred.”
20Please look after me and save me! Don't let me be humiliated, for you are the one who protects me.
21May integrity and honesty defend me because I place my confidence in you.
22God, please deliver the people of Israel from all their troubles!
