Psalm 25

Dependence on the Lord

Davidic.

Lord,[a] I turn to You.[b](A)
My God, I trust in You.
Do not let me be disgraced;(B)
do not let my enemies gloat over me.(C)
No one who waits for You
will be disgraced;(D)
those who act treacherously without cause
will be disgraced.(E)

Make Your ways known to me, Lord;
teach me Your paths.(F)
Guide me in Your truth and teach me,(G)
for You are the God of my salvation;(H)
I wait for You all day long.(I)
Remember, Lord, Your compassion
and Your faithful love,
for they have existed from antiquity.[c](J)
Do not remember the sins of my youth(K)
or my acts of rebellion;(L)
in keeping with Your faithful love, remember me
because of Your goodness, Lord.(M)
