Psalm 25
A Prayer for Guidance and Protection (KJV)
Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul
O my God, I trust in thee;
let me not be ashamed,
let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed:
let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Show me thy ways, O Lord:
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:
for thou art the God of my salvation;
On thee do I wait all the day.
Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies
and thy lovingkindness;
for they have been ever of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;
according to thy mercy remember thou me
for thy goodness� sake, O Lord.
Good and upright is the Lord:
therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in judgment:
and the meek will he teach his way.
All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth
unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
For thy name�s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity;
What man is he that feareth the Lord?
Him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
His soul shall dwell at ease;
and his seed shall inherit the earth.
The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him;
and he will show them his covenant.
Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord;
for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;
for I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged:
O bring thou me out of my distresses.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain;
Consider mine enemies; for they are many;
and they hate me with cruel hatred.
O keep my soul, and deliver me:
let me not be ashamed: for I put my trust in thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
