25:1 Of David. To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
25:2 in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
25:3 No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.
25:4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;
25:5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
25:6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD.
25:8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
25:9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.
25:10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant.
25:11 For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
25:12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.
25:13 He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
25:14 The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.
25:15 My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.
25:16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
25:17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish.
25:18 Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.
25:19 See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me!
25:20 Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
25:21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.
25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
25:1 To You, O Jehovah, / I lift up my soul.
25:2 O my God, I trust in You; / Do not let me be ashamed; / Do not let my enemies exult over me.
25:3 Indeed may all who wait on You not be ashamed; / May those who deal treacherously without cause be ashamed.
25:4 Make Your ways known to me, O Jehovah; / Teach me Your paths.
25:5 Guide me in Your truth, and teach me; / For You are the God of my salvation; / I wait on You all the day long.
25:6 Remember Your compassions, O Jehovah, / And Your acts of kindness, for they are from of old.
25:7 The sins of my youth and my transgressions, do not remember; / According to Your lovingkindness, remember me, / For the sake of Your goodness, O Jehovah.
25:8 Jehovah is good and upright; / Therefore He instructs sinners concerning the way.
25:9 He guides the lowly in justice / And teaches the lowly His way.
25:10 All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth / To those who observe His covenant and His testimonies.
25:11 For the sake of Your name, O Jehovah, / Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
25:12 Who then is the man who fears Jehovah? / Him will He instruct concerning the way that he should choose.
25:13 His soul will dwell in prosperity, / And his seed will possess the land.
25:14 The intimate counsel of Jehovah is to those who fear Him, / And His covenant will He make known to them.
25:15 My eyes are continually turned to Jehovah, / For He will bring my feet out of the net.
25:16 Turn toward me, and be gracious to me, / For I am alone and afflicted.
25:17 Relieve the troubles of my heart, / And bring me out of my distresses.
25:18 Look on my affliction and my suffering, / And forgive all my sins.
25:19 Look on my enemies, for they are many; / Indeed they hate me with a violent hatred.
25:20 Keep my soul, and deliver me; / Do not let me be put to shame, / For I take refuge in You.
25:21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me, / For I wait on You.
25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, / Out of all his troubles.
