Psalm 25

1To you, Yahweh, I lift my soul.

2My God, in you I trust; do not let me be shamed, nor let my enemies exult over me.

3Indeed, none who wait for you will be put to shame; those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

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

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

6Yahweh, remember your compassions and your kindnesses, for they are from eternity.

7Do not remember the sins of my youth nor my transgressions; according to your favor remember me—you—for your goodness' sake, Yahweh.

8Yahweh is good and upright, therefore he instructs sinners in the way.

9He guides the humble in justice, 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 iniquity, for it is great.

12Who is this man who fears Yahweh? He will instruct him in the way he chooses.

13His soul will dwell prosperously, and his offspring will inherit the land.

14Yahweh's counsel is for those who fear him, and he makes his covenant known to them.

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

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

17The afflictions of my heart have multiplied. Rescue me from my distresses.

18See my affliction and my suffering, and pardon all my sins.

19See my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with violent hatred.

20Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I take refuge in you.

21Let integrity and uprightness keep me, for I hope in you.

22God, deliver Israel from all his afflictions.
