Psalms 25:8-22 ▼

8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.

9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.

10 All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.

11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

12 Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.

13 His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.

14 The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.

15 My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.

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

17 The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.

18 Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.

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 preserve me, because I wait for You.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
