Psalm 25

¹Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
²O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
³Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
⁴Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
⁵Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
⁶Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
⁷Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
⁸Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
⁹The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
¹⁰All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
¹¹For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
¹²What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
¹³His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
¹⁴The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
¹⁵Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
¹⁶Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
¹⁸Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
¹⁹Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
²⁰O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
²²Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

11When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
²As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
³I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
⁴I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
⁵I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
⁶According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
⁷Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
⁸I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
⁹O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.
¹⁰I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
¹¹I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.
¹²The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
¹³The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
¹⁴I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
¹⁵Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
¹⁶Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

¹¹Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
¹²As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
¹³For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
¹⁴But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
¹⁵For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
¹⁶And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
¹⁷From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
¹⁸Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
