The Psalms, starting at chapter 25
Psalm 25
By David.
{25:1} To you, LORD, do I lift up my soul.
{25:2} My God, I have trusted in you.
Don't let me be shamed.
Don't let my enemies triumph over me.
{25:3} Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed.
They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
{25:4} Show me your ways, LORD.
Teach me your paths.
{25:5} Guide me in your truth, and teach me,
For you are the God of my salvation,
I wait for you all day long.
{25:6} LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness,
for they are from old times.
{25:7} Don't remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.
Remember me according to your loving kindness,
for your goodness' sake, LORD.
{25:8} Good and upright is the LORD,
therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
{25:9} He will guide the humble in justice.
He will teach the humble his way.
{25:10} All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth
to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
{25:11} For your name's sake, LORD,
pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
{25:12} What man is he who fears the LORD?
He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
{25:13} His soul shall dwell at ease.
His seed shall inherit the land.
{25:14} The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him.
He will show them his covenant.
{25:15} My eyes are ever on the LORD,
for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
{25:16} Turn to me, and have mercy on me,
for I am desolate and afflicted.
{25:17} The troubles of my heart are enlarged.
Oh bring me out of my distresses.
{25:18} Consider my affliction and my travail.
Forgive all my sins.
{25:19} Consider my enemies, for they are many.
They hate me with cruel hatred.
{25:20} Oh keep my soul, and deliver me.
Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
{25:21} Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I wait for you.
{25:22} Redeem Israel, God,
out all of his troubles.
Psalm 26
By David.
{26:1} Judge me, LORD, for I have walked in my integrity.
I have trusted also in LORD without wavering.
{26:2} Examine me, LORD, and prove me.
Try my heart and my mind.
{26:3} For your loving kindness is before my eyes.
I have walked in your truth.
{26:4} I have not sat with deceitful men,
neither will I go in with hypocrites.
{26:5} I hate the assembly of evildoers,
and will not sit with the wicked.
{26:6} I will wash my hands in innocence,
so I will go about your altar, LORD;
{26:7} that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
and tell of all your wondrous works.
{26:8} LORD, I love the habitation of your house,
the place where your glory dwells.
{26:9} Don't gather my soul with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men;
{26:10} in whose hands is wickedness,
their right hand is full of bribes.
{26:11} But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
Redeem me, and be merciful to me.
{26:12} My foot stands in an even place.
In the congregations I will bless the LORD.
Psalm 27
By David.
{27:1} The LORD is my light and my salvation.
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life.
Of whom shall I be afraid?
{27:2} When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh,
even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
{27:3} Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear.
Though war should rise against me,
even then I will be confident.
{27:4} One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after,
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
to see the LORD's beauty,
and to inquire in his temple.
{27:5} For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his
pavilion.
In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me.
He will lift me up on a rock.
{27:6} Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me.
I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent.
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
{27:7} Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice.
Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
{27:8} When you said, "Seek my face,"
my heart said to you, "I will seek your face, LORD."
{27:9} Don't hide your face from me.
Don't put your servant away in anger.
You have been my help.
Don't abandon me,
neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
{27:10} When my father and my mother forsake me,
then the LORD will take me up.
{27:11} Teach me your way, LORD.
Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
{27:12} Don't deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries,
for false witnesses have risen up against me,
such as breathe out cruelty.
{27:13} I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
{27:14} Wait for the LORD.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage.
Yes, wait for the LORD.
