Psalms 25

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.

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

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

2O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

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

3Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.

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

4Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.

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

5Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.

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

6Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old.

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

7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness’ sake, O Jehovah.

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

8Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.

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

9The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.

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

10All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

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

11For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

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

12What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.
