PSALMS 诗篇025

PSALM¹ 25
1To you, O Lord , I lift up my soul;
2in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous² without excuse.
4Show me your ways, O Lord , teach me your paths;
5guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
6Remember, O Lord , your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
7Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious³ ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O Lord .
8Good and upright is the Lord ; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
9He guides the humble⁴ in what is right and teaches them his way.
10All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant⁵.
11For the sake of your name, O Lord , forgive my iniquity⁶, though it is great.
12Who, then, is the man that fears the Lord ? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.
13He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
14The Lord confides⁷ in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.
15My eyes are ever on the Lord , for only he will release my feet from the snare⁸.
16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted⁹.
17The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish¹⁰.
18Look upon my affliction and my distress¹¹ and take away all my sins.
19See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me!
20Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
21May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.
22Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles!
