| Chapter 25 |
1 |
[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul. --
|
2 |
O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me. --
|
3 |
Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause. --
|
4 |
Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths. --
|
5 |
Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day. --
|
6 |
Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old. --
|
7 |
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah. --
|
8 |
Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way. --
|
9 |
The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way. --
|
10 |
All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. --
|
11 |
For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great. --
|
12 |
What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose. --
|
13 |
His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land. --
|
14 |
The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant. --
|
15 |
Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net. --
|
16 |
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted. --
|
17 |
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses. --
|
18 |
Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins. --
|
19 |
Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. --
|
20 |
Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee. --
|
21 |
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee. --
|
22 |
Redeem Israel, O God, Out all of his troubles. --
