25:1 By David: I lift my inner being to you, Adonai;
25:2 I trust you, my God. Don’t let me be disgraced, don’t let my enemies gloat over me.
25:3 No one waiting for you will be disgraced; disgrace awaits those who break faith for no reason.
25:4 Make me know your ways, Adonai, teach me your paths.
25:5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me; for you are the God who saves me, my hope is in you all day long.
25:6 Remember your compassion and grace, Adonai; for these are ages old.
25:7 Don’t remember my youthful sins or transgressions; but remember me according to your grace for the sake of your goodness, Adonai.
25:8 Adonai is good, and he is fair; this is why he teaches sinners the way [to live],
25:9 leads the humble to do what is right and teaches the humble [to live] his way.
25:10 All Adonai’s paths are grace and truth to those who keep his covenant and instructions.
25:11 For the sake of your name, Adonai, forgive my wickedness, great though it is.
25:12 Who is the person who fears Adonai? He will teach him the way to choose.
25:13 He will remain prosperous, and his descendants will inherit the land.
25:14 Adonai relates intimately with those who fear him; he makes them know his covenant.
25:15 My eyes are always directed toward Adonai, for he will free my feet from the net.
25:16 Turn to me, and show me your favor; for I am alone and oppressed.
25:17 The troubles of my heart are growing and growing; bring me out of my distress.
25:18 See my affliction and suffering, and take all my sins away.
25:19 Consider my enemies, how many there are and how cruelly they hate me.
25:20 Protect me and rescue me; don’t let me be disgraced, for I take refuge in you.
25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because my hope is in you.
25:22 God! Redeem Isra’el from all their troubles!
