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! |
