Psalm 25

New International Version

Psalm 25^[a]

Of David.

¹In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.^(A)

²I trust in you;^(B)
    do not let me be put to shame,
    nor let my enemies triumph over me.
³No one who hopes in you
    will ever be put to shame,^(C)
but shame will come on those
    who are treacherous^(D) without cause.

⁴Show me your ways, Lord,
    teach me your paths.^(E)
⁵Guide me in your truth^(F) and teach me,
    for you are God my Savior,^(G)
    and my hope is in you^(H) all day long.
⁶Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,^(I)
    for they are from of old.
⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth^(J)
    and my rebellious ways;^(K)
according to your love^(L) remember me,
    for you, Lord, are good.^(M)

⁸Good and upright^(N) is the Lord;
    therefore he instructs^(O) sinners in his ways.
⁹He guides^(P) the humble in what is right
    and teaches them^(Q) his way.
¹⁰All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful^(R)
    toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.^(S)
¹¹For the sake of your name,^(T) Lord,
    forgive^(U) my iniquity,^(V) though it is great.

¹²Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?^(W)
    He will instruct them in the ways^(X) they should choose.^[b]
¹³They will spend their days in prosperity,^(Y)
    and their descendants will inherit the land.^(Z)
¹⁴The Lord confides^(AA) in those who fear him;
    he makes his covenant known^(AB) to them.
¹⁵My eyes are ever on the Lord,^(AC)
    for only he will release my feet from the snare.^(AD)

¹⁶Turn to me^(AE) and be gracious to me,^(AF)
    for I am lonely^(AG) and afflicted.
¹⁷Relieve the troubles^(AH) of my heart
    and free me from my anguish.^(AI)
¹⁸Look on my affliction^(AJ) and my distress^(AK)
    and take away all my sins.^(AL)
¹⁹See how numerous are my enemies^(AM)
    and how fiercely they hate me!^(AN)

²⁰Guard my life^(AO) and rescue me;^(AP)
    do not let me be put to shame,^(AQ)
    for I take refuge^(AR) in you.
²¹May integrity^(AS) and uprightness^(AT) protect me,
    because my hope, Lord,^[c] is in you.^(AU)

²²Deliver Israel,^(AV) O God,
from all their troubles!
