Moff PSA Chapter 25

25 A song of David.

25 On thee, Eternal One, I set my heart,

5c all the day long I wait for thee.

2 In thee I trust; oh disappoint me not,

never let my foes triumph over me.

3 May none who wait for thee be disappointed,

but those alone who wantonly abjure thee.

4 Let me see thy ways, O thou Eternal,

teach me what are thy paths,

5 lead me, as thou art true to thy word,

teach me, for thou art God my help.

6 Remember thy compassion and thy kindness,

for they are thine of old, O thou Eternal;

7 remember not my faults of youth,

and in remembering my sins be kind to me.

8 Kind and upright is the Eternal,

he teaches any who go astray,

9 guiding humble souls aright,

teaching humble souls his way;

10 kindly and faithfully he ever deals

with those who keep his compact and commands.

11 O thou Eternal, as thou art theyself,

pardon my guilt, for it is great.

12 Whoever reverences the Eternal, learns

what is the right course to take;

13 his own life shall continue prosperous,

and his posterity shall hold their land.

14 Those who revere the Eternal have his confidence;

his compact is to instruct them.

15 Mine eyes always are on the Eternal,

for he will clear me of perplexities.

16 Turn to me and have pity,

for I am lonely and low;

17 relieve the anguish of my heart,

free me from all this pressure.

19 Confront my foes, for they are many,

and they hate me cruelly.

18 Consider my distress and pain,

and pardon all my sins.

20 Preserve me and deliver me,

oh disappoint me not, as I take shelter with thee.

21 May my devotion and my loyalty preserve me,

for I am waiting for thyself, O thou Eternal.

22 [[O God, bring Israel safe out of all its troubles.]]
