(25) A Psalm of David. To you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
O my God, I have trusted in you: let me not be confounded, neither let my enemies laugh me to scorn.
For none of them that wait on you shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
Show me your ways, O Lord; and teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my Saviour: and I have waited on you all the day.
Remember your compassions, O Lord, and your mercies, for they are from everlasting.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my sins of ignorance: remember me according to your mercy, for your goodness' sake, O Lord.
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in judgement: the meek will he teach his ways.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.
For your name's sake, O Lord, do you also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.
Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.
His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest truth to them.
My eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.
Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.
The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.
Look upon my affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
Look upon my enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.
Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in you.
The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for you, O Lord.
Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
