Psalms 25
1Unto thee, O LORD , do I lift up my soul . 2O my God , I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed , let not mine enemies triumph over me. 3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed : let them be ashamed which transgress without cause . 4Shew me thy ways , O LORD ; teach me thy paths . 5Lead me in thy truth , and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation ; on thee do I wait all the day . 6Remember , O LORD , thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses ; for they have been ever of old . 7Remember not the sins of my youth , nor my transgressions : according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD . 8Good and upright is the LORD : therefore will he teach sinners in the way . 9The meek will he guide in judgment : and the meek will he teach his way . 10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies . 11For thy name’s sake, O LORD , pardon mine iniquity ; for it is great . 12What man is he that feareth the LORD ? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose . 13His soul shall dwell at ease ; and his seed shall inherit the earth . 14The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant . 15Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD ; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net . 16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted . 17The troubles of my heart are enlarged : O bring thou me out of my distresses . 18Look upon mine affliction and my pain ; and forgive all my sins . 19Consider mine enemies ; for they are many ; and they hate me with cruel hatred . 20O keep my soul , and deliver me: let me not be ashamed ; for I put my trust in thee. 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. 22Redeem Israel , O God , out of all his troubles .
