Psalms 25

25
Psalm 25
This is a song that David wrote.
A prayer for help in trouble #25:1 This psalm is an alphabet psalm, like Psalms 9 and 10. Verse 1 begins with the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Verse 2 begins with the second letter and so on. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet but this psalm misses out the letter q. Verse 22 is separate from the alphabet verses.
1 Lord, I offer myself to you.
2I trust in you, my God.
Please do not let me be ashamed.
Do not let my enemies laugh at me,
because they are stronger than me.
3Surely nobody who trusts in you
will become ashamed.
But those who like to deceive others
will become ashamed.
4 Lord, help me to understand your ways.
Teach me your good paths. #25:4 God's ways and his paths are the right way for us to live.
5Please be my guide and teach me your truth.
I trust you every day,
because you are the God who keeps me safe.
6 Lord, please be kind to me
and show me your faithful love.
From long ago you have always been like that.
7Do not punish me for the sins that I did long ago.
When I was young, I turned against you.
Please be kind to me, because of your faithful love!
8The Lord is good and he does what is right.
Because of that, he teaches sinners the right way to live.
9He is a guide for humble people,
so that they know what is right.
He teaches them to follow his way.
10The Lord is kind to his people
in everything that he does.
He shows his faithful love
to those who obey the rules of his covenant.
11 Lord, my sins are very many.
Please forgive me,
and show that your name is great.
12If people respect the Lord,
the Lord will show them the right way to live.
13People like that will enjoy a good life.
The land will belong to their descendants.
14The Lord is a guide for those who serve him.
He teaches them to obey his covenant.
15I always look to the Lord for help.
He will keep me safe from my enemies,
so that their traps do not catch me.
16Please turn towards me, Lord,
and be kind to me.
I feel very weak and lonely.
17I worry a lot about my troubles.
Please rescue me from them!
18Look at all my pain!
See how I am suffering!
Forgive me for all my sins.
19Look at all my enemies!
There are very many of them!
They hate me so much
that they want to hurt me.
20Keep my life safe and take care of me.
I have come to you to keep me safe,
so do not let me be ashamed.
21I trust you to save me.
Please take care of me,
because I am honest and good.
22God, save Israel's people from all their troubles!
