David implora dirección, perdón y protección

Salmo de David.

25 A ti, oh Jehová, levantaré mi alma.

Dios mío, en ti confío;

No sea yo avergonzado,

No se alegren de mí mis enemigos.

Ciertamente ninguno de cuantos esperan en ti será confundido;

Serán avergonzados los que se rebelan sin causa.

Muéstrame, oh Jehová, tus caminos;

Enséñame tus sendas.

Encamíname en tu verdad, y enséñame,

Porque tú eres el Dios de mi salvación;

En ti he esperado todo el día.

Acuérdate, oh Jehová, de tus piedades y de tus misericordias,

Que son perpetuas.

De los pecados de mi juventud, y de mis rebeliones, no te acuerdes;

Conforme a tu misericordia acuérdate de mí,

Por tu bondad, oh Jehová.

Bueno y recto es Jehová;

Por tanto, él enseñará a los pecadores el camino.

Encaminará a los humildes por el juicio,

Y enseñará a los mansos su carrera.

10 Todas las sendas de Jehová son misericordia y verdad,

Para los que guardan su pacto y sus testimonios.

11 Por amor de tu nombre, oh Jehová,

Perdonarás también mi pecado, que es grande.

12 ¿Quién es el hombre que teme a Jehová?

Él le enseñará el camino que ha de escoger.

13 Gozará él de bienestar,

Y su descendencia heredará la tierra.

14 La comunión íntima de Jehová es con los que le temen,

Y a ellos hará conocer su pacto.

15 Mis ojos están siempre hacia Jehová,

Porque él sacará mis pies de la red.

16 Mírame, y ten misericordia de mí,

Porque estoy solo y afligido.

17 Las angustias de mi corazón se han aumentado;

Sácame de mis congojas.

18 Mira mi aflicción y mi trabajo,

Y perdona todos mis pecados.

19 Mira mis enemigos, cómo se han multiplicado,

Y con odio violento me aborrecen.

20 Guarda mi alma, y líbrame;

No sea yo avergonzado, porque en ti confié.

21 Integridad y rectitud me guarden,

Porque en ti he esperado.

22 Redime, oh Dios, a Israel

De todas sus angustias.

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!

Teach Me Your Paths

[a] Of David.

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

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

Remember your (J)mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
    (K)for they have been from of old.
Remember 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!

(N)Good and upright is the Lord;
    therefore he (O)instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
    and teaches the humble his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are (P)steadfast love and faithfulness,
    for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For your (Q)name's sake, O Lord,
    pardon my guilt, for it is (R)great.
12 Who is the man who fears the Lord?
    Him (S)will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
13 His 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.
15 My (X)eyes are ever toward the Lord,
    for he will (Y)pluck my feet out of the net.

16 (Z)Turn to me and be gracious to me,
    for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
    bring me out of my distresses.
18 (AA)Consider my affliction and my trouble,
    and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider how many are my foes,
    and with what violent hatred they hate me.
20 Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!
    (AB)Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
    for I wait for you.

22 (AC)Redeem Israel, O God,
    out of all his troubles.
