25:1 A Psalm of David. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me,

25:3 Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.

25:4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

25:8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

25:10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

25:11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.

25:12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

25:15 My eyes are ever towards the LORD; for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

25:16 Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

25:18 Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

25:19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
