PSALM 25
First Version
Meter: 6,6,8,6
1To thee I lift my soul:
2O Lord, I trust in thee:
My God, let me not be asham'd,
nor foes triumph o'er me.
3Let none that wait on thee
be put to shame at all;
But those that without cause transgress,
let shame upon them fall.
4Shew me thy ways, O Lord;
thy paths, O teach thou me:
5And do thou lead me in thy truth,
therein my teacher be:
For thou art God that dost
to me salvation send,
And I upon thee all the day
expecting do attend.
6Thy tender mercies, Lord,
I pray thee to remember,
And loving-kindnesses; for they
have been of old for ever.
7My sins and faults of youth
do thou, O Lord, forget:
After thy mercy think on me,
and for thy goodness great.
8God good and upright is:
the way he'll sinners show.
9The meek in judgment he will guide,
and make his path to know.
10The whole paths of the Lord
are truth and mercy sure,
To those that do his cov'nant keep,
and testimonies pure.
11Now, for thine own name's sake,
O Lord, I thee entreat
To pardon mine iniquity;
for it is very great.
12What man is he that fears
the Lord, and doth him serve?
Him shall he teach the way that he
shall choose, and still observe.
13His soul shall dwell at ease;
and his posterity
Shall flourish still, and of the earth
inheritors shall be.
14With those that fear him is
the secret of the Lord;
The knowledge of his covenant
he will to them afford.
15Mine eyes upon the Lord
continually are set:
For he it is that shall bring forth
my feet out of the net.
16Turn unto me thy face,
and to me mercy show;
Because that I am desolate,
and am brought very low.
17My heart's griefs are increas'd:
me from distress relieve.
18See mine affliction and my pain,
and all my sins forgive.
19Consider thou my foes,
because they many are;
And it a cruel hatred is
which they against me bear.
20O do thou keep my soul,
do thou deliver me:
And let me never be asham'd,
because I trust in thee.
21Let uprightness and truth
keep me, who thee attend.
22Redemption, Lord, to Israel
from all his troubles send.

A Prayer for Guidance and Protection#Ps 25 Hebrew title: By David.
1To you, O LORD, I offer my prayer;
2in you, my God, I trust.
Save me from the shame of defeat;
don't let my enemies gloat over me!
3Defeat does not come to those who trust in you,
but to those who are quick to rebel against you.
4Teach me your ways, O LORD;
make them known to me.
5Teach me to live according to your truth,
for you are my God, who saves me.
I always trust in you.
6Remember, O LORD, your kindness and constant love
which you have shown from long ago.
7Forgive the sins and errors of my youth.
In your constant love and goodness,
remember me, LORD!
8Because the LORD is righteous and good,
he teaches sinners the path they should follow.
9He leads the humble in the right way
and teaches them his will.
10With faithfulness and love he leads
all who keep his covenant and obey his commands.
11Keep your promise, LORD, and forgive my sins,
for they are many.
12Those who have reverence for the LORD
will learn from him the path they should follow.
13They will always be prosperous,
and their children will possess the land.
14The LORD is the friend of those who obey him
and he affirms his covenant with them.
15I look to the LORD for help at all times,
and he rescues me from danger.
16Turn to me, LORD, and be merciful to me,
because I am lonely and weak.
17Relieve me of my worries
and save me from all my troubles.
18Consider my distress and suffering
and forgive all my sins.
19See how many enemies I have;
see how much they hate me.
20Protect me and save me;
keep me from defeat.
I come to you for safety.
21May my goodness and honesty preserve me,
because I trust in you.
22From all their troubles, O God,
save your people Israel!
