Psalm 25: 1-9

1

To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

my God, I put my trust in you;

let me not be humiliated,

nor let my enemies triumph over me.

2

Let none who look to you be put to shame;

let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes.

3

Show me your ways, O LORD,

and teach me your paths.

4

Lead me in your truth and teach me,

for you are the God of my salvation;

in you have I trusted all the day long.

5

Remember, O LORD, your compassion and love,

for they are from everlasting.

6

Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions;

remember me according to your love

and for the sake of your goodness, O LORD.

7

Gracious and upright is the LORD;

therefore he teaches sinners in his way.

8

He guides the humble in doing right

and teaches his way to the lowly.

9

All the paths of the LORD are love and faithfulness

to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
