25:1  UNTO YOU, O Lord, do I bring my life.

25:2  O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, {and} am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame {or} [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me.

25:3  Yes, let none who trust {and} wait hopefully {and} look for You be put to shame {or} be disappointed; let them be ashamed who forsake the right {or} deal treacherously without cause.

25:4  Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.

25:5  Guide me in Your truth {and} faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You [You only and altogether] do I wait [expectantly] all the day long.

25:6  Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercy and loving-kindness; for they have been ever from of old.

25:7  Remember not the sins (the lapses and frailties) of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your mercy {and} steadfast love remember me, for Your goodness' sake, O Lord.

25:8  Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in [His] way.

25:9  He leads the humble in what is right, and the humble He teaches His way.

25:10  All the paths of the Lord are mercy {and} steadfast love, even truth {and} faithfulness are they for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.

25:11  For Your name's sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity {and} my guilt, for [they are] great.

25:12  Who is the man who reverently fears {and} worships the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose.

25:13  He himself shall dwell at ease, and his offspring shall inherit the land.

25:14  The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant {and} reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.

25:15  My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He will pluck my feet out of the net.

25:16  [Lord] turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.

25:17  The troubles of my heart are multiplied; bring me out of my distresses.

25:18  Behold my affliction and my pain and forgive all my sins [of thinking and doing].

25:19  Consider my enemies, for they abound; they hate me with cruel hatred.

25:20  O keep me, Lord, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed {or} disappointed, for my trust {and} my refuge are in You.

25:21  Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for {and} expect You.

25:22  Redeem Israel, O God, out of all their troubles.
