Teach Me Your Ways
Heading
By David.
A Prayer for Protection
1 To you, O Lord, I will lift up my soul.
2 In you I have trusted, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame.
Do not let my enemies triumph over me.
3 All who hope in you will never be put to shame,
but those who are treacherous for no reason will be put to shame.
A Prayer for Forgiveness
4 Make known to me your ways, O Lord.
Teach me your paths.
5 Make me walk in your truth and teach me,
because you are the God who saves me.
In you I hope all day long.
6 Remember, O Lord, your compassion and your mercy,
for they are from eternity.[a]
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways.
According to your mercy remember me,
because of your goodness, O Lord.
8 Good and upright is the Lord.
Therefore, he instructs sinners in the right way.
9 He directs the humble to what is just,
and he teaches the humble his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth
for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For the sake of your name, O Lord,
you forgive my guilt, although it is great.
A Prayer for a Godly Life
12 Who, then, is the man who fears the Lord?
The Lord will instruct him in the way he chooses.
13 That man will enjoy a good life,
and his descendants will possess the land.
14 The guidance[b] of the Lord is with those who fear him.
His covenant will give them knowledge.
A Second Prayer for Protection
15 My eyes are always on the Lord,
because he frees my feet from the net.
16 Turn toward me and be gracious to me,
because I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The distress of my heart increases.[c]
Bring me out of my anguish.
18 See my affliction and my trouble,
and take away all my sins.
19 See my enemies—
how they have increased,
and how violently they hate me!
20 Guard my life and rescue me.
Do not let me be put to shame,
for I have taken refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because I wait for you.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress!

Salmos 25
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Dios mío, en ti confío
Canción de David.
1 SEÑOR, a ti dirijo mis súplicas.[a]
2 Dios mío, en ti confío,
por eso nunca seré humillado,
y mis enemigos nunca me vencerán.
3 Quien crea en ti nunca será derrotado;
pero en cambio, los traidores serán derrotados
y quedarán con las manos vacías.
4 SEÑOR, enséñame a vivir a tu manera.
Muéstrame el camino que tú seguirías.
5 Guíame y enséñame tu verdad,
porque tú eres mi Dios y Salvador,
y en ti pongo siempre toda mi esperanza.
6 SEÑOR, recuerda siempre ser bueno
y misericordioso conmigo,
como lo has sido siempre.
7 Olvida, SEÑOR, los pecados
que cometí en mi juventud cuando fui un rebelde.
Muéstrame tu bondad,
recuérdame con fiel amor.
8 El SEÑOR es bueno y justo.
Por eso les enseña a los pecadores el camino correcto.
9 Él guía a los humildes por el buen camino;
les enseña a vivir a su manera.
10 El SEÑOR muestra siempre su fiel amor y lealtad
a quienes siguen su pacto y sus testimonios.
11 SEÑOR, sé que he pecado;
perdóname, porque eres un Dios bondadoso.[b]
12 El SEÑOR guía a quien le teme y respeta.
Lo guía por el camino que conduce a Dios.
13 Quien ame a Dios vivirá feliz,
y sus hijos heredarán la tierra.
14 El SEÑOR reserva su amistad personal para los que le tienen un temor reverente.
Es a ellos a los que les enseña el significado de su pacto.
15 Yo siempre busco la ayuda del SEÑOR
porque sé que él siempre me salva del peligro.[c]
16 Dios mío, mírame y ten compasión de mí
que estoy solo y triste.
17 Libérame de mis angustias
y sácame del peligro.
18 Mira todos mis sufrimientos
y perdona todos mis pecados.
19 Reconoce que tengo enemigos
que me odian y quieren hacerme daño.
20 Protégeme y sálvame.
Confío en ti, no me dejes pasar vergüenza.
21 Dependo de ti,
haz que me mantenga siempre sin faltas y fiel a ti.
22 Dios mío, salva a Israel
de todos sus enemigos.
