Psalms 25
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!

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.
