25:1  Of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
25:2  in you, O my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame, or permit my enemies to gloat over me.
25:3  No one who places his hope in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will be the lot of all who break faith without justification.
25:4  Make your ways known to me, O Lord; teach me your paths.
25:5  Guide me in your truth and instruct me, for you are God, my Savior, and in you I hope all the day long.
25:6  Be mindful, O Lord, that mercy and kindness have been yours from of old.
25:7  Remember not the sins of my youth or my many transgressions, but remember me in your kindness, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord.
25:8  Good and upright is the Lord; therefore, he instructs sinners in his ways.
25:9  He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them the path to follow.
25:10  The ways of the Lord are kindness and truth for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.
25:11  For the sake of your name, O Lord, pardon my iniquity, great though it be.
25:12  Who, then, is the man that fears the Lord? He will be shown the path he should choose.
25:13  He will enjoy lasting prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
25:14  The Lord manifests himself to those who fear him, and he makes his covenant known to them.
25:15  My eyes are ever upon the Lord, for he alone can free my feet from the snare.
25:16  Turn to me and have mercy on me, for I am alone and afflicted.
25:17  Relieve the anguish of my heart and free me from my distress.
25:18  Look upon my affliction and suffering, and forgive all my sins.
25:19  Consider how numerous are my enemies, and how fierce is their hatred of me.
25:20  Preserve my life and deliver me; do not let me be put to shame, for I seek refuge in you.
25:21  Let integrity and virtue preserve me, for in you I place my hope.
25:22  Redeem Israel, O God, from all its troubles.
