25:1  A Psalm of David. To thee, O LORD, I lift up my soul.

25:2  O my God, in thee I trust, let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me.

25:3  Yea, let none that wait for thee be put to shame; let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

25:4  Make me to know thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

25:5  Lead me in thy truth, and teach me, for thou art the God of my salvation; for thee I wait all the day long.

25:6  Be mindful of thy mercy, O LORD, and of thy steadfast love, for they have been from of old.

25:7  Remember not the sins of my youth, or my transgressions; according to thy steadfast love remember me, for thy goodness' sake, O LORD!

25:8  Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way.

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

25:10  All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

25:11  For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my guilt, for it is great.

25:12  Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.

25:13  He himself shall abide in prosperity, and his children shall possess the land.

25:14  The friendship of the LORD is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.

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

25:16  Turn thou to me, and be gracious to me; for I am lonely and afflicted.

25:17  Relieve the troubles of my heart, and bring me out of my distresses.

25:18  Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins.

25:19  Consider how many are my foes, and with what violent hatred they hate me.

25:20  Oh guard my life, and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

25:21  May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for thee.

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