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