Psalm 25:1-15

English Standard Version

Teach Me Your Paths

^[a] Of David.

25 To you, O Lord, I ^(A)lift up my soul.
²O my God, in you I ^(B)trust;
    ^(C)let me not be put to shame;
    ^(D)let not my enemies exult over me.
³Indeed, ^(E)none who wait for you shall be put to shame;
    they shall be ashamed who are ^(F)wantonly ^(G)treacherous.

⁴^(H)Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.
⁵Lead me in your ^(I)truth and teach me,
    for you are the God of my salvation;
    for you I wait all the day long.

⁶Remember your ^(J)mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
    ^(K)for they have been from of old.
⁷Remember not ^(L)the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
    according to your ^(M)steadfast love remember me,
    for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

⁸^(N)Good and upright is the Lord;
    therefore he ^(O)instructs 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 ^(P)steadfast love and faithfulness,
    for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹¹For your ^(Q)name's sake, O Lord,
    pardon my guilt, for it is ^(R)great.
¹²Who is the man who fears the Lord?
    Him ^(S)will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
¹³His soul shall ^(T)abide in well-being,
    and his ^(U)offspring ^(V)shall inherit the land.
¹⁴^(W)The friendship^[b] of the Lord is for those who fear him,
    and he makes known to them his covenant.
¹⁵My ^(X)eyes are ever toward the Lord,
    for he will ^(Y)pluck my feet out of the net.

Hebrews 2:10-18

English Standard Version

¹⁰For it ^(A)was fitting that he, ^(B)for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons ^(C)to glory, should make the ^(D)founder of their salvation ^(E)perfect through suffering. ¹¹For ^(F)he who sanctifies and ^(G)those who are sanctified ^(H)all have one source.^[a] That is why he is not ashamed to call them ^(I)brothers,^[b] ¹²saying,

^(J)“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the ^(K)congregation I will sing your praise.”

¹³And again,

^(L)“I will put my trust in him.”

And again,

^(M)“Behold, I and the children ^(N)God has given me.”

¹⁴Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise ^(O)partook of the same things, that ^(P)through death he might ^(Q)destroy ^(R)the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, ¹⁵and deliver all those who ^(S)through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. ¹⁶For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he ^(T)helps the offspring of Abraham. ¹⁷Therefore he had ^(U)to be made like his brothers in every respect, ^(V)so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest ^(W)in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. ¹⁸For because he himself has suffered ^(X)when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
