Psalms 25:5-19

⁵Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. All day long I put my trust in you.

⁶Remember, Lord, your compassion and trustworthy love—they are eternal!

⁷Please don't remember the sins of my youth when I rebelled against you. Instead, remember me according to your trustworthy love, remember me because of your goodness, Lord.

⁸The Lord is good and he is right; that is why he shows the way to those who are lost.

⁹He leads those who are humble in doing what's right, teaching them his way.

¹⁰The Lord's paths are those of trustworthy love and truth for those who keep his agreement and do as he says.

¹¹Lord, because of your nature, forgive my many sins.

¹²Who are those who respect the Lord? He will show them the path to choose.

¹³They will continue to be prosperous, and their descendants will inherit the land.

¹⁴The Lord is friends with those who respect him, explaining to them his agreement.

¹⁵I always look to the Lord, for he rescues me when I'm trapped.

¹⁶Watch over me and be good to me, because I am all alone and suffering.

¹⁷My problems get bigger and bigger. Please save me from all I'm going through.

¹⁸See all my troubles and trials. Please forgive my sins.

¹⁹Look at how many enemies I have, and how they really hate me!
