←Prev   Psalms 25 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


25:1  My head is high, God, held high; I’m looking to you, God; No hangdog skulking for me.
25:2  My head is high, God, held high; I’m looking to you, God; No hangdog skulking for me.
25:3  I’ve thrown in my lot with you; You won’t embarrass me, will you? Or let my enemies get the best of me? Don’t embarrass any of us Who went out on a limb for you. It’s the traitors who should be humiliated.
25:4  Show me how you work, God; School me in your ways.
25:5  Take me by the hand; Lead me down the path of truth. You are my Savior, aren’t you?
25:6  Mark the milestones of your mercy and love, God; Rebuild the ancient landmarks!
25:7  Forget that I sowed wild oats; Mark me with your sign of love. Plan only the best for me, God!
25:8  God is fair and just; He corrects the misdirected, Sends them in the right direction.
25:9  He gives the rejects his hand, And leads them step-by-step.
25:10  From now on every road you travel Will take you to God. Follow the Covenant signs; Read the charted directions.
25:11  Keep up your reputation, God; Forgive my bad life; It’s been a very bad life.
25:12  My question: What are God-worshipers like? Your answer: Arrows aimed at God’s bull’s-eye.
25:13  They settle down in a promising place; Their kids inherit a prosperous farm.
25:14  God-friendship is for God-worshipers; They are the ones he confides in.
25:15  If I keep my eyes on God, I won’t trip over my own feet.
25:16  Look at me and help me! I’m all alone and in big trouble.
25:17  My heart and mind are fighting each other; Call a truce to this civil war.
25:18  Take a hard look at my life of hard labor, Then lift this ton of sin.
25:19  Do you see how many people Have it in for me? How viciously they hate me?
25:20  Keep watch over me and keep me out of trouble; Don’t let me down when I run to you.
25:21  Use all your skill to put me together; I wait to see your finished product.
25:22  God, give your people a break From this run of bad luck.
