Psalms 25
1 Of David. To you, LORD, I lift up my soul.
2 My God, I trust in you; let me not be put to shame; let my enemies not rejoice over me.
3 None of those who wait for you will be put to shame; those who betray without cause will be put to shame.
4 Show me your ways, LORD; teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me; I have waited for you all day long.
6 Remember your compassion, LORD, and your faithful love, for they have been there from long ago.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; remember me according to your faithful love, because of your goodness, LORD.
8 The LORD is good and upright; therefore he teaches sinners the way.
9 He leads the humble in justice and teaches the humble his way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are faithful love and faithfulness for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my guilt, for it is great.
12 Who is the person who fears the LORD? The LORD will teach that person the way to choose.
13 That person's life will rest in goodness, and their descendants will inherit the land.
14 The LORD's secret counsel is for those who fear him, and he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are always turned toward the LORD, for he is the one who pulls my feet out of the net.
16 Turn to me and have compassion on me, for I am alone and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart have grown; bring me out of my distresses.
18 Look on my affliction and suffering, and forgive all my sins.
19 Look at how many enemies I have, and how fiercely they hate me.
20 Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I have taken refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, for I have waited for you.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its troubles.
