Chapter 25
1 To you , Yahweh , I lift up my soul .
2 My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.
3 Yes , no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause .
4 Show me your ways , Yahweh . Teach me your paths .
5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me , for you are the God of my salvation . I wait for you all day long .
6 Yahweh , remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness , for they are from old times .
7 Don’t remember the sins of my youth , nor my transgressions . Remember me according to your loving kindness , for your goodness ’ sake , Yahweh .
8 Good and upright is Yahweh , therefore he will instruct sinners in the way .
9 He will guide the humble in justice . He will teach the humble his way .
10 All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies .
11 For your name ’s sake , Yahweh , pardon my iniquity , for it is great .
12 What man is he who fears Yahweh ? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul will dwell at ease . His offspring will inherit the land.
14 The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him . He will show them his covenant .
15 My eyes are ever on Yahweh , for he will pluck my feet out of the net .
16 Turn to me , and have mercy on me , for I am desolate and afflicted .
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged . Oh bring me out of my distresses .
18 Consider my affliction and my travail . Forgive all my sins .
19 Consider my enemies , for they are many . They hate me with cruel hatred .
20 Oh keep my soul , and deliver me . Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you .
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me , for I wait for you .
22 God, redeem Israel out of all his troubles .
