25:1 |
<Of David.> To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up. |
25:2 |
O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me. |
25:3 |
Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause. |
25:4 |
Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways. |
25:5 |
Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day. |
25:6 |
O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times. |
25:7 |
Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness. |
25:8 |
Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way. |
25:9 |
He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them. |
25:10 |
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness. |
25:11 |
Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great. |
25:12 |
If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure. |
25:13 |
His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage. |
25:14 |
The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them. |
25:15 |
My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net. |
25:16 |
Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper. |
25:17 |
The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows. |
25:18 |
Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins. |
25:19 |
See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me. |
25:20 |
O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you. |
25:21 |
For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you. |
25:22 |
Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles. |
