Psalm 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.
