By David.

25 To you, Yahweh, I lift up my soul.
My God, I have trusted in you.
    Don’t let me be shamed.
    Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.
Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed.
    They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

Show me your ways, Yahweh.
    Teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth, and teach me,
    For you are the God of my salvation,
    I wait for you all day long.
Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness,
    for they are from old times.
Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.
    Remember me according to your loving kindness,
    for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh.
Good and upright is Yahweh,
    therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
He will guide the humble in justice.
    He will teach the humble his way.
10 All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth
    to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your name’s sake, Yahweh,
    pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 What man is he who fears Yahweh?
    He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul will dwell at ease.
    His offspring will inherit the land.
14 The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him.
    He will show them his covenant.

15 My eyes are ever on Yahweh,
    for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me,
    for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged.
    Oh bring me out of my distresses.
18 Consider my affliction and my travail.
    Forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many.
    They hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me.
    Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
    for I wait for you.
22 God, redeem Israel
    out of all his troubles.

Psalm 25

[A Psalm] of David.

Unto You, O Lord, do I bring my life.

O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me.

Yes, let none who trust and wait hopefully and look for You be put to shame or be disappointed; let them be ashamed who forsake the right or deal treacherously without cause.

Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.

Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You [You only and altogether] do I wait [expectantly] all the day long.

Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercy and loving-kindness; for they have been ever from of old.

Remember not the sins (the lapses and frailties) of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your mercy and steadfast love remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in [His] way.

He leads the humble in what is right, and the humble He teaches His way.

10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and steadfast love, even truth and faithfulness are they for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.

11 For Your name’s sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity and my guilt, for [they are] great.

12 Who is the man who reverently fears and worships the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose.

13 He himself shall dwell at ease, and his offspring shall inherit the land.

14 The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.(A)

15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He will pluck my feet out of the net.

16 [Lord] turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are multiplied; bring me out of my distresses.

18 Behold my affliction and my pain and forgive all my sins [of thinking and doing].

19 Consider my enemies, for they abound; they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 O keep me, Lord, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed or disappointed, for my trust and my refuge are in You.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for and expect You.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all their troubles.
