25:1  Of David. Lord, I ·give myself [L lift my soul] to you;

25:3  No one who ·trusts [hopes in; waits on] you will be ·disgraced [shamed], but those who ·sin [betray; are treacherous] without excuse will be ·disgraced [shamed].
25:4  Lord, ·tell me [make me know] your ways. ·Show [L Teach] me ·how to live [L your paths].
25:5  ·Guide [Lead] me in your truth, and teach me, my God, my ·Savior [Helper; Victor]. I ·trust [hope in; wait on] you all day long.
25:6  Lord, remember your ·mercy [compassion] and ·love [loyalty; covenant love] that you have shown since long ago.
25:7  Do not remember the sins and ·wrong things I did when I was young [transgressions of my youth]. But remember ·to love me [L according to your love/loyalty/covenant love] always ·because you are good [on account of your goodness], Lord.
25:8  The Lord is good and ·right [upright; virtuous]; he ·points [instructs] sinners to the right way.
25:9  He shows those who are humble how to do right, and he teaches them his ways.

25:11  For the sake of your ·name [reputation], Lord, forgive my many sins.
25:12  ·Are there [L Who are…?] those who ·respect [fear] the Lord [Prov. 1:7]? He will ·point [teach] them ·to the best way [L the way they should choose].
25:13  ·They will enjoy a good life [L Their soul will dwell/lodge in goodness], and their ·children [L seed] will inherit the ·land [or earth].
25:14  The Lord ·tells his secrets to [confides in; or makes friends with] those who ·respect [fear] him; he ·tells them about [makes known to them] his ·agreement [covenant].
25:15  My eyes are always ·looking to the Lord for help [L toward the Lord]. He will ·keep me [L remove my feet] from any traps.
25:16  Turn to me and ·have mercy on [L be gracious to] me, because I am lonely and hurting.
25:17  ·My troubles have [L The distress of my heart has] ·grown larger [widened]; ·free me from [bring me out of] my ·problems [anguish; distress].
25:18  Look at my ·suffering [affliction] and troubles, and ·take away [forgive] all my sins.
25:19  Look at how many enemies I have! See how ·much [L violently] they hate me!
25:20  Protect me and ·save [rescue; T deliver] me. I ·trust [find refuge in] you, so do not let me be ·disgraced [shamed].
25:21  My hope is in you, so may ·goodness [blamelessness; innocence] and ·honesty [virtue] guard me.
25:22  God, ·save [redeem; ransom] Israel from all their ·troubles [distress]!
