PSALM 25
Ad te, Domine, levavi.

Unto thee, O LORD, will I lift up my soul; my God, I have put my | trust in thee:

* O let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies | triumph over me.

2 For all they that hope in thee shall | not •be a•shamed;

* but such as transgress without a cause | shall be put •to con•fusion.

3 Show me thy | ways, O LORD,

* and | teach me thy paths.

4 Lead me forth in thy | truth, and learn me:

* for thou art the God of my salvation; in thee hath been my hope | all the day long.

5 Call to remembrance, O LORD, thy | tender mercies,

* and thy loving-kindnesses, which | have been •ever• of old.

6 O remember not the sins and offences | of my youth;

* but according to thy mercy think thou upon me, O | LORD, for thy goodness.

7 Gracious and righteous | is the LORD;

* therefore, will he teach | sinners in the way.

8 Them that are meek shall he | guide in judgment;

* and such as are gentle, them | shall he learn his way.

9 All the paths of the LORD are | mercy• and truth,

* unto such as keep his covenant | and his testimonies.

10 For thy Name's | sake, O LORD,

* be merciful unto my | sin; for it is great.

11 What man is he that | feareth• the LORD?

* him shall he teach in the | way that he shall choose.

12 His soul shall | dwell at ease,

* and his seed | shall in•herit• the land.

13 The secret of the LORD is among | them that fear him;

* and he will show | them his covenant.

14 Mine eyes are ever looking | unto• the LORD;

* for he shall pluck my | feet out •of the• net.

15 Turn thee unto me, and have | mercy• upon me;

* for I am | deso•late, and in misery.

16 The sorrows of my heart | are enlarged:

* O bring thou | me •out of• my troubles.

17 Look upon my adversi- | -ty and misery,

* and for- | -give me all my sin.

18 Consider mine enemies, how | many• they are;

* and they bear a | tyran•nous hate against me.

19 O keep my soul, and de- | -liver me:

* let me not be confounded, for I have | put my trust in thee.

20 Let perfectness and righteous dealing | wait upon me;

* for my | hope hath been in thee.

21 Deliver Israel, | O God,

* out of | all his troubles.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
