Psalm 25

⁴ 
Let me know Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
⁵ 
Guide me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
For You [and only You] I wait [expectantly] all the day long.
⁶ 
Remember, O Lord, Your [tender] compassion and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they have been from of old.
⁷ 
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
According to Your lovingkindness remember me,
For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

⁸ 
Good and upright is the Lord;
Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.
⁹ 
He leads the humble in justice,
And He teaches the humble His way.
¹⁰ 
All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and goodness and truth and faithfulness
To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
¹¹ 
For Your name’s sake, O Lord,
Pardon my wickedness and my guilt, for they are great.

¹² 
Who is the man who fears the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with submissive wonder]?
He will teach him [through His word] in the way he should choose.
¹³ 
His soul will dwell in prosperity and goodness,
And his descendants will inherit the land.
¹⁴ 
The secret [of the wise counsel] of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning.
¹⁵ 
My eyes are continually toward the Lord,
For He will bring my feet out of the net.

¹⁶ 
Turn to me [Lord] and be gracious to me,
For I am alone and afflicted.
¹⁷ 
The troubles of my heart are multiplied;
Bring me out of my distresses.
¹⁸ 
Look upon my affliction and my trouble,
And forgive all my sins.
¹⁹ 
Look upon my enemies, for they are many;
They hate me with cruel and violent hatred.
²⁰ 
Guard my soul and rescue me;
Do not let me be ashamed or disappointed,
For I have taken refuge in You.
²¹ 
Let integrity and uprightness protect me,
For I wait [expectantly] for You.
²² 
O God, redeem Israel,
Out of all his troubles.
