| Chapter 25 |
1 | A Psalm of David. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
|
2 | O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me,
|
3 | Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.
|
4 | Show 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 loving kindnesses; 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 to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
|
11 | For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my 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 show them his covenant.
|
15 | My eyes are ever towards the LORD; for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
|
16 | Turn thee to 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 my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
|
19 | Consider my 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.
