# Chapter 25
|
|
1 O Lord, I give my life to you.
|
|
2 I trust in you, my God!
|
|
Do not let me be disgraced,
|
|
or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
|
|
3 No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced,
|
|
but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
|
|
4 Show me the right path, O Lord;
|
|
point out the road for me to follow.
|
|
5 Lead me by your truth and teach me,
|
|
for you are the God who saves me.
|
|
All day long I put my hope in you.
|
|
6 Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love,
|
|
which you have shown from long ages past.
|
|
7 Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.
|
|
Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,
|
|
for you are merciful, O Lord.
|
|
8 The Lord is good and does what is right;
|
|
he shows the proper path to those who go astray.
|
|
9 He leads the humble in doing right,
|
|
teaching them his way.
|
|
10 The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness
|
|
all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.
|
|
11 For the honor of your name, O Lord,
|
|
forgive my many, many sins.
|
|
12 Who are those who fear the Lord?
|
|
He will show them the path they should choose.
|
|
13 They will live in prosperity,
|
|
and their children will inherit the land.
|
|
14 The Lord is a friend to those who fear him.
|
|
He teaches them his covenant.
|
|
15 My eyes are always on the Lord,
|
|
for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.
|
|
16 Turn to me and have mercy,
|
|
for I am alone and in deep distress.
|
|
17 My problems go from bad to worse.
|
|
Oh, save me from them all!
|
|
18 Feel my pain and see my trouble.
|
|
Forgive all my sins.
|
|
19 See how many enemies I have
|
|
and how viciously they hate me!
|
|
20 Protect me! Rescue my life from them!
|
|
Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge.
|
|
21 May integrity and honesty protect me,
|
|
for I put my hope in you.
|
|
22 O God, ransom Israel
|
|
from all its troubles. |
