Psalm 25
In you, O Lord my God, have I put my hope
: in you have I trusted, let me not be ashamed,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
Let none who wait for you be put to shame
: but let those that break faith be confounded and gain nothing.
Show me your ways, O Lord
: and teach me your paths.
Lead me in the ways of your truth, and teach me
: for you are the God of my salvation.
In you have I hoped all the day long
: because of your goodness, O Lord.
Call to mind your compassion and your loving-kindness
: for they are from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions
: but according to your mercy think on me.
Good and upright is the Lord
: therefore will he direct sinners in the way.
The meek he will guide in the path of justice
: and teach the humble his ways.
All the paths of the Lord are faithful and true
: for those who keep his covenant and his commandments.
For your name’s sake, O Lord
: be merciful to my sin, though it is great.
Who is he that fears the Lord?
: him will the Lord direct in the way that he should choose.
His soul shall dwell at ease
: and his children shall inherit the land.
The confidences of God belong to those that fear him
: and his covenant shall give them understanding.
My eves are ever looking to the Lord
: for he will bring my feet out of the net.
Turn your face toward me and be gracious
: for I am alone and in misery.
O free my heart from pain
: and bring me out of my distress.
Give heed to my affliction and adversity
: and forgive me all my sins.
Consider my enemies, how many they are
: and they bear a violent hate against me.
O keep my life, and deliver me
: put me not to shame, for I come to you for refuge.
Let innocence and integrity be my guard
: for in you have I hoped.
O God, deliver Israel
: out of all his tribulation.
