Psalms 25 — BBE

Of David.

25Verse 1To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up.
^{Verse 2}O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.
^{Verse 3}Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.
^{Verse 4}Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.
^{Verse 5}Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.
^{Verse 6}O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.
^{Verse 7}Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.
^{Verse 8}Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.
^{Verse 9}He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.
^{Verse 10}All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.
^{Verse 11}Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.
^{Verse 12}If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.
^{Verse 13}His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.
^{Verse 14}The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.
^{Verse 15}My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.
^{Verse 16}Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.
^{Verse 17}The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.
^{Verse 18}Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.
^{Verse 19}See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.
^{Verse 20}O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.
^{Verse 21}For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you.
^{Verse 22}Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles.
