Psalms 25

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.	1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.
2 In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.	2 Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.
3 Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.	3 For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.
4 Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.	4 I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.
5 Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.	5 I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.
6 Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.	6 I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,
7 The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.	7 so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.
8 The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.	8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.
9 He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.	9 O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.	10 in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.
11 For thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.	11 But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.
12 Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.	12 My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
13 His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.
15 My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.
16 Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
17 The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.
18 See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.
20 Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.
21 The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.
22 Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
