1901 American Standard Version (ASV)

1 David's confidence in prayer. 7 He prayeth for remission of sins, 16 and for help in affliction.

25:1 ¶ [[[A Psalm] of David.]] Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

25:2 O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

25:3 Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.

25:4 Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.

25:5 Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.

25:6 Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old.

25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

25:8 Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.

25:9 The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.

25:10 All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

25:11 For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

25:12 What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.

25:13 His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.

25:14 The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant.

25:15 Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.

25:16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted.

25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.

25:18 Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.

25:19 Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.

25:20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee.

25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out all of his troubles.
