Psalms 25
David's confidence in prayer.
Psalms 25:1 {[A Psalm] of David.} To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. Psalms 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me, Psalms 25:3 Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause. Psalms 25:4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Psalms 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Psalms 25:6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.
He prayeth for remission of sins,
Psalms 25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. Psalms 25:8 Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. Psalms 25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. Psalms 25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. Psalms 25:11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it [is] great. Psalms 25:12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose. Psalms 25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. Psalms 25:14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. Psalms 25:15 My eyes [are] ever towards the LORD; for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
and for help in affliction.
Psalms 25:16 Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted. Psalms 25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. Psalms 25:18 Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Psalms 25:19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. Psalms 25:20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. Psalms 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. Psalms 25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
