# Chapter 25
|
||
1 Lord, I appeal to you.
|
||
2 My God, I trust in you.
|
||
Do not let me be disgraced;
|
||
do not let my enemies gloat over me.
|
||
3 No one who waits for you
|
||
will be disgraced;
|
||
those who act treacherously without cause
|
||
will be disgraced.
|
||
4 Make your ways known to me, Lord;
|
||
teach me your paths.
|
||
5 Guide me in your truth and teach me,
|
||
for you are the God of my salvation;
|
||
I wait for you all day long.
|
||
6 Remember, Lord, your compassion
|
||
and your faithful love,
|
||
for they have existed from antiquity.
|
||
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth
|
||
or my acts of rebellion;
|
||
in keeping with your faithful love, remember me
|
||
because of your goodness, Lord.
|
||
8 The Lord is good and upright;
|
||
therefore he shows sinners the way.
|
||
9 He leads the humble in what is right
|
||
and teaches them his way.
|
||
10 All the Lord’s ways show faithful love and truth
|
||
to those who keep his covenant and decrees.
|
||
11 Lord, for the sake of your name,
|
||
forgive my iniquity, for it is immense.
|
||
12 Who is this person who fears the Lord?
|
||
He will show him the way he should choose.
|
||
13 He will live a good life,
|
||
and his descendants will inherit the land.
|
||
14 The secret counsel of the Lord
|
||
is for those who fear him,
|
||
and he reveals his covenant to them.
|
||
15 My eyes are always on the Lord,
|
||
for he will pull my feet out of the net.
|
||
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
|
||
for I am alone and afflicted.
|
||
17 The distresses of my heart increase;
|
||
bring me out of my sufferings.
|
||
18 Consider my affliction and trouble,
|
||
and forgive all my sins.
|
||
19 Consider my enemies; they are numerous,
|
||
and they hate me violently.
|
||
20 Guard me and rescue me;
|
||
do not let me be disgraced,
|
||
for I take refuge in you.
|
||
21 May integrity and what is right
|
||
watch over me,
|
||
for I wait for you.
|
||
22 God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses. |
