| Chapter 25 |
1 |
[A Psalm] of David. 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.
|
8 |
Good 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 dwell 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.
|
15 |
Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck 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 cruel 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.
