Psalms 25:7-18

⁷Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.

⁸Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.

⁹He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.

¹⁰All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.

¹¹Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.

¹²If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.

¹³His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.

¹⁴The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.

¹⁵My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.

¹⁶Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.

¹⁸Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins.
