Psalm 25:1-9 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

Psalm 25

Prayer for Guidance and for Deliverance

Of David.

¹To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
²O my God, in you I trust;
    do not let me be put to shame;
    do not let my enemies exult over me.
³Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame;
    let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

⁴Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.
⁵Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
    for you are the God of my salvation;
    for you I wait all day long.

⁶Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
    for they have been from of old.
⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
    according to your steadfast love remember me,
    for your goodness’ sake, O Lord!

⁸Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
⁹He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
