Psalm 25 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

A Plea for Deliverance and Forgiveness
Psa 25:1A Psalm of David.

To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
Psa 25:2O my God, I trust in You;
Let me not be ashamed;
Let not my enemies triumph over me.
Psa 25:3Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed;
Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.
Psa 25:4Show me Your ways, O LORD;
Teach me Your paths.
Psa 25:5Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.
Psa 25:6Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they are from of old.
Psa 25:7Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;
According to Your mercy remember me,
For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD.
Psa 25:8Good and upright is the LORD;
Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.
Psa 25:9The humble He guides in justice,
And the humble He teaches His way.
Psa 25:10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth,
To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
Psa 25:11For Your name’s sake, O LORD,
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
Psa 25:12Who is the man that fears the LORD?
Him shall He[fn] teach in the way He[fn] chooses.
Psa 25:13He himself shall dwell in prosperity,
And his descendants shall inherit the earth.
Psa 25:14The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him,
And He will show them His covenant.
Psa 25:15My eyes are ever toward the LORD,
For He shall pluck my feet out of the net.
Psa 25:16Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me,
For I am desolate and afflicted.
Psa 25:17The troubles of my heart have enlarged;
Bring me out of my distresses!
Psa 25:18Look on my affliction and my pain,
And forgive all my sins.
Psa 25:19Consider my enemies, for they are many;
And they hate me with cruel hatred.
Psa 25:20Keep my soul, and deliver me;
Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.
Psa 25:21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
For I wait for You.
Psa 25:22Redeem Israel, O God,
Out of all their troubles!
