| 25:1 |
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! |
