Psalm 25

Teach Me Your Paths

Of David.

1  To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
2  O my God, in you I trust;
let me not be put to shame;
let not my enemies exult over me.
3  Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame;
they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

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

6  Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.
7  Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

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

11  For your name's sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is great.
12  Who is the man who fears the Lord?
Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
13  His soul shall abide in well-being,
and his offspring shall inherit the land.
14  The friendshipt of the Lord is for those who fear him,
and he makes known to them his covenant.
15  My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

16  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  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!
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  Redeem Israel, O God,
out of all his troubles.

Psalm 25

1 Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

2 O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3 Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.

4 Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.

5 Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.

6 Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness’ sake, O Jehovah.

8 Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.

9 The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.

10 All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11 For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

12 What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.

14 The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant.

15 Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted.

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

18 Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

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

22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out all of his troubles.
