Psalms 25:2-22 ▼

2 My God, in You I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies rejoice over me.

3 Indeed, all those waiting on You will not be put to shame; those who act treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

4 May You show me Your ways, O YHWH; may You teach me Your paths.

5 Make me to walk in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.

6 Remember Your mercies, O YHWH, and Your loving devotion, for they are from of old.

7 May You not remember the sins of my youth, and my transgressions; according to Your loving devotion, may You remember me, for the sake of Your goodness, O YHWH.

8 Good and upright is YHWH; upon thus, He directs sinful ones in the way.

9 He guides the humble ones in justice, and He teaches the humble ones His way.

10 All the paths of YHWH are loving devotion and truth, to those keeping His covenant and His decrees.

11 And for the sake of Your name, O YHWH, may You pardon my iniquity, though it is great.

12 Who is this man, the one fearing YHWH? He will direct him in the way he must choose.

13 His soul shall dwell in goodness, and his seed shall possess the land.

14 The counsel of YHWH is with those fearing Him, and He makes known to them His covenant.

15 My eyes are continually toward YHWH, for He brings out my feet from a net.

16 May You turn to me and show favor to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart have enlarged; may You bring me out from my distress.

18 Look on my affliction and my trouble, and lift all my sins.

19 See my enemies!—For they are many, and with violent hatred they hate me.

20 Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.

21 May integrity and uprightness keep me, for I wait for You.

22 May You redeem Israel, O God, from all his distress.
