Prayer for Protection, Guidance, and Pardon.

Psa 25:1
A Psalm of David.
Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
Psa 25:2
O my God, in thee have I trusted,
Let me not be put to shame;
Let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Psa 25:3
Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame:
They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.
Psa 25:4
Show me thy ways, O Jehovah;
Teach me thy paths.
Psa 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.
Psa 25:6
Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness;
For they have been ever of old.
Psa 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.
Psa 25:8
Good and upright is Jehovah:
Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.
Psa 25:9
The meek will he guide in justice;
And the meek will he teach his way.
Psa 25:10
All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth
Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Psa 25:11
For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah,
Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
Psa 25:12
What man is he that feareth Jehovah?
Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.
Psa 25:13
His soul shall dwell at ease;
And his seed shall inherit the land.
Psa 25:14
The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him;
And he will show them his covenant.
Psa 25:15
Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah;
For he will pluck my feet out of the net.
Psa 25:16
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;
For I am desolate and afflicted.
Psa 25:17
The troubles of my heart are enlarged:
Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.
Psa 25:18
Consider mine affliction and my travail;
And forgive all my sins.
Psa 25:19
Consider mine enemies, for they are many;
And they hate me with cruel hatred.
Psa 25:20
Oh keep my soul, and deliver me:
Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.
Psa 25:21
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for thee.

Redeem Israel, O God,
Out all of his troubles.
