| Chapter 25 |
1 |
A Psalm of David. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. --
|
2 |
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me, --
|
3 |
Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause. --
|
4 |
Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. --
|
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. --
|
6 |
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old. --
|
7 |
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. --
|
8 |
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach 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 the LORD are mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. --
|
11 |
For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it is great. --
|
12 |
What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. --
|
13 |
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. --
|
14 |
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. --
|
15 |
My eyes are ever towards the LORD; for he will pluck my feet out of the net. --
|
16 |
Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. --
|
17 |
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. --
|
18 |
Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. --
|
19 |
Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. --
|
20 |
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my 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. --
