A Plea for Deliverance and Forgiveness

A Psalm of David.

25 To (A)You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
O my God, I (B)trust in You;
Let me not be ashamed;
(C)Let not my enemies triumph over me.
Indeed, let no one who [a]waits on You be ashamed;
Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

(D)Show me Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.

Remember, O Lord, (E)Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they are from of old.
Do not remember (F)the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;
(G)According to Your mercy remember me,
For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord;
Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.
The humble He guides in justice,
And the humble He teaches His way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth,
To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
11 (H)For Your name’s sake, O Lord,
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

12 Who is the man that fears the Lord?
(I)Him shall [b]He teach in the way He chooses.
13 (J)He himself shall dwell in [c]prosperity,
And (K)his descendants shall inherit the earth.
14 (L)The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him,
And He will show them His covenant.
15 (M)My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
For He shall [d]pluck my feet out of the net.

16 (N)Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me,
For I am [e]desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart have enlarged;
Bring me out of my distresses!
18 (O)Look on my affliction and my pain,
And forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many;
And they hate me with [f]cruel hatred.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me;
Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for You.

22 (P)Redeem Israel, O God,
Out of all their troubles!

A Prayer for Guidance, Deliverance, and Forgiveness

Of David.[a]

25 To you, O Yahweh, I lift up my soul.
O my God, I trust you; let me not be put to shame.
Do not let my enemies exult over me.
Indeed, none who wait for you should be put to shame.
Those who betray without cause should be put to shame.
Make me know your ways, O Yahweh.
Teach me your paths.
Cause me to walk in your truth and teach me,
because you are the God of my salvation.
I await you all day long.[b]
Remember your compassion, O Yahweh,
and your acts of loyal love,
because they are from of old.
Do not remember
the sins of my youth or my transgressions.
According to your loyal love remember me if you will,
for the sake of your goodness, O Yahweh.
Good and right is Yahweh;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He causes the humble to walk in justice,
and teaches the humble his way.
10 All the paths of Yahweh are loyal love and faithfulness
for those who keep his covenant and statutes.[c]
11 Also, for the sake of your name, O Yahweh,
forgive my sin, because it is great.
12 Who is the man fearing Yahweh?
He will instruct him in the way he should choose.
13 His soul will lodge in prosperity,
and his offspring will possess the land.
14 Intimate fellowship with Yahweh is for those who fear him,
and he makes known his covenant to them.
15 My eyes are continually toward Yahweh,
because he will take my feet from the net.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me
because I am lonely and afflicted.
17 Remove the troubles of my heart;
bring me out from my distresses.
18 Consider my affliction and trouble,
and forgive[d] all my sins.
19 Consider that my enemies are many,
and they hate me with violent hatred.
20 Protect my life and deliver me.
Let me not be put to shame, because I take shelter in you.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
because I wait for you.
22 O God, redeem Israel
from all its troubles.

Acuérdate, Señor, de tu misericordia

25 De David.
A ti me dirijo, Señor.
Dios mío, en ti confío, no me defraudes,
que mis enemigos no se burlen de mí.
Quien en ti espera no quedará defraudado;
pero sí quedará confundido
el que es infiel sin motivo.
Señor, muéstrame tus caminos,
enséñame tus sendas,
instrúyeme en tu verdad; enséñame,
porque tú eres el Dios que me salva,
en ti pongo mi esperanza cada día.
Recuerda, Señor, tu misericordia
y tu amor que desde siempre existen;
olvida mis faltas de juventud y mis pecados,
recuérdame en tu amor, por tu bondad, Señor.
El Señor es bueno y recto,
él muestra el camino a los pecadores,
instruye en la justicia a los humildes,
enseña a los humildes su camino.
10 Las sendas del Señor son amor y verdad
para quienes respetan su alianza y sus mandatos.
11 Señor, haciendo honor a tu nombre,
perdona mi grave pecado.
12 A quien venere al Señor,
él le enseñará qué camino elegir;
13 vivirá con prosperidad
y su descendencia heredará la tierra.
14 El Señor se confía a sus fieles
anunciándoles su alianza.
15 Mis ojos tengo siempre en el Señor,
él libera mis pies de la trampa.
16 Atiéndeme, apiádate de mí
que estoy solo y desvalido.
17 Mis angustias se multiplican,
líbrame tú de mis pesares.
18 Mira mis aflicciones y penas,
perdóname mis pecados;
19 mira cuántos son mis enemigos
y el rencor con que me odian.
20 Protégeme, sálvame,
no me defraudes, pues en ti confío.
21 La integridad y la rectitud me protejan
porque en ti tengo puesta mi esperanza.
22 ¡Señor, libera a Israel
de todas sus angustias!
