25:1 A song of David. ALWAYS I will lift up my soul to You, Eternal One,
25:2 BECAUSE You are my God and I put my trust in You. Do not let me be humiliated. Do not let my enemies celebrate at my expense.
25:3 CERTAINLY none of the people who rely on You will be shamed, but those who are unfaithful, who intentionally deceive, they are the ones who will be disgraced.
25:4 DEMONSTRATE Your ways, O Eternal One. Teach me to understand so I can follow.
25:5 EASE me down the path of Your truth. FEED me Your word because You are the True God who has saved me. I wait all day long, hoping, trusting in You.
25:6 GRACIOUS Eternal One, remember Your compassion; rekindle Your concern and love, which have always been part of Your actions toward those who are Yours.
25:7 Do not HOLD against me the sins I committed when I was young; instead, deal with me according to Your mercy and love. Then Your goodness may be demonstrated in all the world, Eternal One.
25:8 IMMENSELY good and honorable is the Eternal; that’s why He teaches sinners the way.
25:9 With JUSTICE, He directs the humble in all that is right, and He shows them His way.
25:10 KIND and true are all the ways of the Eternal to the people who keep His covenant and His words.
25:11 O LORD, the Eternal, bring glory to Your name, and forgive my sins because they are beyond number.
25:12 MAY anyone who fears the Eternal be shown the path he should choose.
25:13 His soul will NOT only live in goodness, but his children will inherit the land.
25:14 ONLY those who stand in awe of the Eternal will have intimacy with Him, and He will reveal His covenant to them.
25:15 PERPETUALLY my focus takes me to the Eternal because He will set me free from the traps laid for me.
25:16 QUIETLY turn Your eyes to me and be compassionate toward me because I am lonely and persecuted.
25:17 RAPIDLY my heart beats as troubles build on the horizon. Come relieve me from these threats.
25:18 SEE my troubles and my misery, and forgive all my sins.
25:19 TAKE notice of my enemies. See how there are so many of them who hate me and would seek my violent destruction.
25:20 Watch over my soul, and let me face shame and defeat UNASHAMED because You are my refuge.
25:21 May honor and strong character keep me safe. VIGILANTLY I wait for You, hoping, trusting.
25:22 Save Israel from all its troubles, O True God.
