Psalms 25

1 Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

1Unto the end, a psalm for David. Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.

2 MyGod, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

2Prove me, O Lord, and try me; burn my reins and my heart.

3 Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

3For thy mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.

4 Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.

4I have not sat with the council of vanity: neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.

5 Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art theGod of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

5I have hated the assembly of the malignant; and with the wicked I will not sit.

6 Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.

6I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass thy altar, O Lord:

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.

7That I may hear the voice of thy praise: and tell of all thy wondrous works.

8 Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:

8I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

9 The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.

9Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with bloody men:

10 All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

10In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.

11 For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

11But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy on me.

12 What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way [that] he should choose.

12My foot hath stood in the direct way: in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.

13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.
