Psalms 25

¹To you, Yahweh, do I lift up my soul.

²My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.

³Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

⁴Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

⁵Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.

⁶Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.

⁷Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh.

⁸Good and upright is Yahweh, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

⁹He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.

¹⁰All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹¹For your name’s sake, Yahweh, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

¹²What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

¹³His soul shall dwell at ease. His offspring shall inherit the land.

¹⁴The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

¹⁵My eyes are ever on Yahweh, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

¹⁶Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses.

¹⁸Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.

²⁰Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.

²²Redeem Israel, God, out of all his troubles.
