Psalm 25

Psalm 25 (Amplified Bible)


Psalm 25

[A Psalm] of David.
 1UNTO YOU, O Lord, do I bring my life.     2O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me.
    3Yes, let none who trust and wait hopefully and look for You be put to shame or be disappointed; let them be ashamed who forsake the right or deal treacherously without cause.
    4Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.
    5Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You [You only and altogether] do I wait [expectantly] all the day long.
    6Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercy and loving-kindness; for they have been ever from of old.
    7Remember not the sins (the lapses and frailties) of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your mercy and steadfast love remember me, for Your goodness' sake, O Lord.
    8Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in [His] way.
    9He leads the humble in what is right, and the humble He teaches His way.
    10All the paths of the Lord are mercy and steadfast love, even truth and faithfulness are they for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
    11For Your name's sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity and my guilt, for [they are] great.
    12Who is the man who reverently fears and worships the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose.
    13He himself shall dwell at ease, and his offspring shall inherit the land.
    14The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.(A)
    15My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He will pluck my feet out of the net.
    16[Lord] turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
    17The troubles of my heart are multiplied; bring me out of my distresses.
    18Behold my affliction and my pain and forgive all my sins [of thinking and doing].
    19Consider my enemies, for they abound; they hate me with cruel hatred.
    20O keep me, Lord, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed or disappointed, for my trust and my refuge are in You.
    21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for and expect You.
    22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all their troubles.
