25 Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
² O my God, in thee have I trusted,
Let me not be put to shame;
Let not mine enemies triumph over me.
³ Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame:
They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.
⁴ Show me thy ways, O Jehovah;
Teach me thy paths.
⁵ Guide me in thy truth, and teach me;
For thou art the God of my salvation;
For thee do I wait all the day.
⁶ Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness;
For they have been ever of old.
⁷ Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me,
For thy goodness’ sake, O Jehovah.
⁸ Good and upright is Jehovah:
Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.
⁹ The meek will he guide in justice;
And the meek will he teach his way.
¹⁰ All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth
Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
¹¹ For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah,
Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
¹² What man is he that feareth Jehovah?
Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.
¹³ His soul shall dwell at ease;
And his seed shall inherit the land.
¹⁴ The ^[a]friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him;
^[b]And he will show them his covenant.
¹⁵ Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah;
For he will pluck my feet out of the net.
¹⁶ Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;
For I am desolate and afflicted.
¹⁷ The troubles of my heart ^[c]are enlarged:
Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.
¹⁸ Consider mine affliction and my travail;
And forgive all my sins.
¹⁹ Consider mine enemies, for they are many;
And they hate me with cruel hatred.
²⁰ Oh keep my soul, and deliver me:
Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.
²¹ Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for thee.
²² Redeem Israel, O God,
Out of all his troubles.
