Psalms 25

To You I Lift Up My Soul

1Of David. To you, O LORD, my soul^a I lift up.
2My God, in you I have trusted; let me not be ashamed; let not my enemies exult over me.
3Indeed, all who wait for you shall not be ashamed; ashamed shall be those who deal treacherously without cause.
4Your ways, O LORD, make me to know; your paths teach me.
5Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation (Yeshuah); for you I wait all the day.
6Remember your compassions, O LORD, and your kindnesses, for from of old they are.
7The sins of my youth and my transgressions do not remember; according to your kindness remember me, you, for the sake of your goodness, the LORD.
8Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
9He leads the humble in judgment^b, and he teaches the humble his way.
10All the paths of the LORD are kindness and truth to those who keep his covenant^c and his testimonies^d.
11For the sake of your name, O LORD, you shall pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12Who is this, the man^e who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose.
13His soul shall lodge in goodness, and his seed shall inherit the land.
14The counsel of the LORD is for those who fear him, and his covenant, to make them know it.
15My eyes are continually toward the LORD, for he brings forth my feet out of the net.
16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am solitary and afflicted.
17The troubles of my heart have enlarged; out of my distresses bring me forth.
18See my affliction and my toil, and lift away all my sins.
19See my enemies, for they are many, and with violent hatred they hate me.
20Keep my soul and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in you.
21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
22Redeem Israel, God, out of all his troubles.
