A Psalm of David.

Psalm 25:1-3
1 To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
2
O my God, I trust in You;
Let me not be ashamed;
Let not my enemies triumph over me.
3
Indeed, let no one who waits on You (waits for you in faith) be ashamed;
Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

Psalm 25:4-5
4
Show me 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;
On You I wait all the day.

Psalm 25:6-7
6
Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they are from of old.
7
Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;
According to Your mercy remember me,
For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Psalm 25:8-11
8
Good and upright is the Lord;
Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.
9
The humble He guides in justice,
And the humble He teaches His way.
10
All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth,
To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
11
For Your name’s sake, O Lord,
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

Psalm 25:12-15
12
Who is the man that fears the Lord?
Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.
13
He himself shall dwell in prosperity,
And his descendants shall inherit the earth.
14
The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him,
And He will show them His covenant.
15
My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
For He shall pluck (bring out) my feet out of the net.

Psalm 25:16-21
16
Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me,
For I am desolate (lonely) and afflicted.
17
The troubles of my heart have enlarged;
Bring me out of my distresses!
18
Look on my affliction and my pain,
And forgive all my sins.
19
Consider my enemies, for they are many;
And they hate me with cruel hatred (violent hatred).
20
Keep my soul, and deliver me;
Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.
21
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for You.

Psalm 25:22
22
Redeem Israel, O God,
Out of all their troubles!
