Psalms 25

Psalm 25 ESV

1David's confidence in prayer: 7he prayeth for remission of sins, 16and for help in affliction.
a Of David.
1 To you, O Lord, I 1lift up my soul.
2 O my God, in you I 1trust; 2let me not be put to shame; 3let not my enemies exult over me.
3 Indeed, 1none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are 2wantonly 3treacherous.
4 1Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your 1truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
6 Remember your 1mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, 2for they have been from of old.
7 Remember not 1the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your 2steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!
8 1Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he 2instructs sinners in the way.
9 He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are 1steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your 1name's sake, O Lord, pardon my guilt, for it is 2great.
12 Who is the man who fears the Lord? Him 1will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
13 His soul shall 1abide in well-being, and his 2offspring 3shall inherit the land.
14 1The friendshipa of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.
15 My 1eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will 2pluck my feet out of the net.
16 1Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses.
18 1Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins.
19 Consider how many are my foes, and with what violent hatred they hate me.
20 Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me! 1Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
22 1Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
