Psalm 25

Ad te, Domine, levavi

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;

my God, I put my trust in you; *

let me not be humiliated,

nor let my enemies triumph over me.

Let none who look to you be put to shame; *

let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes.

Show me your ways, O Lord, *

and teach me your paths.

Lead me in your truth and teach me, *

for you are the God of my salvation;

in you have I trusted all the day long.

Remember, O Lord, your compassion and love, *

for they are from everlasting.

Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions; *

remember me according to your love

and for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.

Gracious and upright is the Lord; *

therefore he teaches sinners in his way.

He guides the humble in doing right *

and teaches his way to the lowly.

All the paths of the Lord are love and faithfulness *

to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For your Name’s sake, O Lord, *

forgive my sin, for it is great.

Who are they who fear the Lord? *

he will teach them the way that they should choose.

They shall dwell in prosperity, *

and their offspring shall inherit the land.

The Lord is a friend to those who fear him *

and will show them his covenant.

My eyes are ever looking to the Lord, *

for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Turn to me and have pity on me, *

for I am left alone and in misery.

The sorrows of my heart have increased; *

bring me out of my troubles.

Look upon my adversity and misery *

and forgive me all my sin.

Look upon my enemies, for they are many, *

and they bear a violent hatred against me.

Protect my life and deliver me; *

let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in you.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, *

for my hope has been in you.

Deliver Israel, O God, *

out of all his troubles.
