Psalm 25

 ¹ Lord, I give myself to you;
 ²     my God, I trust you.
    Do not let me be disgraced;
       do not let my enemies laugh at me.
 ³ No one who trusts you will be disgraced,
       but those who sin without excuse will be disgraced.

 ⁴ Lord, tell me your ways.
       Show me how to live.
 ⁵ Guide me in your truth,
       and teach me, my God, my Savior.
       I trust you all day long.
 ⁶ Lord, remember your mercy and love
       that you have shown since long ago.
 ⁷ Do not remember the sins
       and wrong things I did when I was young.
    But remember to love me always
       because you are good, Lord.

 ⁸ The Lord is good and right;
       he points sinners to the right way.
 ⁹ He shows those who are humble how to do right,
       and he teaches them his ways.
 ¹⁰ All the Lord's ways are loving and true
       for those who follow the demands of his agreement.
 ¹¹ For the sake of your name, Lord,
       forgive my many sins.
 ¹² Are there those who respect the Lord?
       He will point them to the best way.
 ¹³ They will enjoy a good life,
       and their children will inherit the land.
 ¹⁴ The Lord tells his secrets to those who respect him;
       he tells them about his agreement.
 ¹⁵ My eyes are always looking to the Lord for help.
       He will keep me from any traps.
 ¹⁶ Turn to me and have mercy on me,
       because I am lonely and hurting.
 ¹⁷ My troubles have grown larger;
       free me from my problems.
 ¹⁸ Look at my suffering and troubles,
       and take away all my sins.
 ¹⁹ Look at how many enemies I have!
       See how much they hate me!
 ²⁰ Protect me and save me.
       I trust you, so do not let me be disgraced.
 ²¹ My hope is in you,
       so may goodness and honesty guard me.
 ²² God, save Israel from all their troubles!  (Psalm 25, New Century Version) Pin It Now!
