24
(25) A Psalm of David.
1 To you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
2 O my God, I have trusted in you: let me not be confounded, neither let my enemies laugh me to scorn.
3 For none of them that wait on you shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
4 Show me your ways, O Lord; and teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my Saviour: and I have waited on you all the day.
6 Remember your compassions, O Lord, and your mercies, for they are from everlasting.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my sins of ignorance: remember me according to your mercy, for your goodness' sake, O Lord.
8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he * sc. as a law-giver instruct sinners in the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your name's sake, O Lord, do you also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.
12 Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.
13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest † Or, 'it,' sc. what has just been stated. truth to them.
15 My eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.
16 Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.
17 The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.
18 Look upon my affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
19 Look upon my enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in you.
21 The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for you, O Lord.
22 Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
