| Chapter 25 |
1 |
{[A Psalm] of David.} Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul. --
|
2 |
My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. --
|
3 |
Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause. --
|
4 |
Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths. --
|
5 |
Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. --
|
6 |
Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting. --
|
7 |
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah. --
|
8 |
Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way: --
|
9 |
The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way. --
|
10 |
All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. --
|
11 |
For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. --
|
12 |
What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way [that] he should choose. --
|
13 |
His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth. --
|
14 |
The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them. --
|
15 |
Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net. --
|
16 |
Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted. --
|
17 |
The troubles of my heart are increased: bring 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 |
Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee. --
|
21 |
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. --
|
22 |
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. --
