Psalms 25

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
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.	1 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
2 Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.	2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.	3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.	4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
5 I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.	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.
6 I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,	6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
7 so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.	7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.	8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,	9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.	10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.	11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.	12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
	13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
	14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
	15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
	16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
	17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
	18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
	19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
	20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
	21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
	22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
