25:1 Of David. To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

25:2 in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

25:3 No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.

25:4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;

25:5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

25:6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.

25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD.

25:8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

25:9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

25:10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant.

25:11 For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

25:12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

25:13 He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.

25:14 The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

25:15 My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.

25:16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.

25:17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish.

25:18 Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.

25:19 See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me!

25:20 Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

25:21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.

25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
