Psalms 25:1-19

¹The song of David. Lord, to thee I have raised my soul;

²my God, I trust in thee, be I not ashamed. Neither mine enemies scorn me;

³for all men that suffer thee shall not be shamed. All men doing wicked things superfluously; be they shamed.

⁴Lord, show thou thy ways to me; and teach thou me thy paths.

⁵Dress thou me in thy truth, and teach thou me, for thou art God, my saviour; and I suffered thee all day.

⁶Lord, have thou mind of thy merciful doings; and of thy mercies that be from the world.

⁷Have thou not mind on the tres-passes of my youth; and on mine unknowings. Thou, Lord, have mind on me by thy mercy; for thy goodness.

⁸The Lord is sweet and rightful; for this cause he shall give a law to men trespassing in the way.

⁹He shall dress meek men in doom; he shall teach mild men his ways.

¹⁰All the ways of the Lord be mercy and truth; to men seeking his testament, and his witnessings.

¹¹Lord, for thy name, thou shalt do mercy to my sin; for it is much.

¹²Who is a man, that dreadeth the Lord? he ordaineth to him a law in the way which he should choose.

¹³His soul shall dwell in goods; and his seed shall inherit the land.

¹⁴The Lord is a firmness to men dreading him; and his testament is, that it be showed to them.

¹⁵Mine eyes be evermore toward the Lord; for he shall pull away or pull up my feet from the snare.

¹⁶Behold thou to me, and have thou mercy on me; for I am one alone and poor.

¹⁷The tribulations of mine heart be multiplied; deliver thou me of my needs.

¹⁸See thou my meekness and my travail; and forgive thou all my tres-passes.

¹⁹Behold thou mine enemies, for they be multiplied; and they hate me by wicked hatred.
