Psalm 25
8,6,8,6
^1To thee I lift my soul, O Lord:
^2My God, I trust in thee:
Let me not be asham'd; let not
my foes triumph o'er me.
^3Yea, let thou none ashamed be
that do on thee attend:
Ashamed let them be, O Lord,
who without cause offend.
^4Thy ways, Lord, shew; teach me thy paths:
^5Lead me in truth, teach me:
For of my safety thou art God;
all day I wait on thee.
^6Thy mercies, that most tender are,
do thou, O Lord, remember,
And loving-kindnesses; for they
have been of old for ever.
^7Let not the errors of my youth,
nor sins, remember'd be:
In mercy, for thy goodness' sake,
O Lord, remember me.
^8The Lord is good and gracious,
he upright is also:
He therefore sinners will instruct
in ways that they should go.
^9The meek and lowly he will guide
in judgment just alway:
To meek and poor afflicted ones
he'll clearly teach his way.
^10The whole paths of the Lord our God
are truth and mercy sure,
To such as keep his covenant,
and testimonies pure.
^11Now, for thine own name's sake, O Lord,
I humbly thee entreat
To pardon mine iniquity;
for it is very great.
^12What man fears God? him shall he teach
the way that he shall chuse.
^13His soul shall dwell at ease; his seed
the earth, as heirs, shall use.
^14The secret of the Lord is with
such as do fear his name;
And he his holy covenant
will manifest to them.
^15Towards the Lord my waiting eyes
continually are set;
For he it is that shall bring forth
my feet out of the net.
^16O turn thee unto me, O God,
have mercy me upon;
Because I solitary am,
and in affliction.
^17Enlarg'd the griefs are of mine heart;
me from distress relieve.
^18See mine affliction and my pain,
and all my sins forgive.
^19Consider thou mine enemies,
because they many are;
And it a cruel hatred is
which they against me bear.
^20O do thou keep my soul; O God,
do thou deliver me:
Let me not be asham'd; for I
do put my trust in thee.
^21O let integrity and truth
keep me, who thee attend.
^22Redemption, Lord, to Israel
from all his troubles send.
