Chapter 25

  [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.  

-

  O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.  

-

  Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.  

-

  Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.  

-

  Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.  

-

  Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old.  

-

  Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.  

-

  Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.  

-

  The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.  

-

  All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.  

-

  For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.  

-

  What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.  

-

  His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.  

-

  The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant.  

-

  Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.  

-

  Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted.  

-

  The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.  

-

  Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.  

-

  Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.  

-

  Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.  

-

  Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee.  

-

  Redeem Israel, O God, Out all of his troubles.
