Psalm 25

Of David.

1To you, Yahweh, I lift up my soul.

2My God, I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies gloat over me.

3No one who waits for you will be put to shame; those who are treacherous without cause will be put to shame.

4Make your ways known to me, Yahweh; teach me your paths.

5Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I wait for you all day long.

6Remember your compassion, Yahweh, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.

7Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; remember me according to your steadfast love, for the sake of your goodness, Yahweh.

8Yahweh is good and upright; therefore he teaches sinners the way.

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

10All the paths of Yahweh are steadfast love and faithfulness for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11For the sake of your name, Yahweh, forgive my guilt, for it is great.

12Who is the one who fears Yahweh? He will teach them the way they should choose.

13They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants will inherit the land.

14Yahweh confides in those who fear him, and he makes his covenant known to them.

15My eyes are always on Yahweh, for he will free my feet from the net.

16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am alone and afflicted.

17The troubles of my heart have multiplied; bring me out of my distress.

18Look at my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins.

19Look how many my enemies are, and how violently they hate me.

20Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

21May integrity and uprightness protect me, because I wait for you, Yahweh.

22Redeem Israel, God, from all its troubles.
