PSALM 25
A Psalm of David.
1 Unto
thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, I trust in thee:
let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. 3
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which
transgress without cause. 4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy
paths. 5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art
the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 6
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have
been ever of old. 7 Remember 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. 9
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his
covenant and his testimonies. 11 For thy name’s sake, O LORD,
pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. 12 What man is
he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall
choose. 13 His soul shall dwella at ease; and his seed
shall inherit the earth. 14 The 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 pluckb 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: O
bring thou me out of my distresses. 18 Look upon mine affliction
and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 19 Consider mine enemies;
for they are many; and they hate me with cruelc hatred. 20
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in
thee. 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on
thee. 22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
