To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to
shame,
nor let my enemies
triumph over me.
No one whose hope is in
you
will ever be put to
shame,
but they will be put to
shame
who are treacherous
without excuse.
Show me your ways, O Lord,
teach me your paths;
guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and
love,
for they are from of
old.
Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you are good, O Lord.
Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs
sinners in his ways.
He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful
for those who keep the demands of his covenant.
For the sake of your
name, O Lord,
forgive my iniquity,
though it is great.
Who, then, is the man
that fears the Lord?
He will instruct him in
the way chosen for him.
He will spend his days
in prosperity,
and his descendants will
inherit the land.
The Lord confides in those who
fear him;
He makes his covenant
known to them.
My eyes are ever on the Lord,
for only he will release
my feet from the snare.
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
free me from my anguish.
Look upon my affliction
and my distress
and take away all my
sins.
See how my enemies have
increased
and how fiercely they
hate me!
Guard my life and rescue
me;
let me not be put to
shame,
for I take refuge in you.
May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope is in you.
Redeem Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!
Psalm 25
