Psalms. 24. (25) A Psalm of David. To you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul. O my God, I have trusted in you: let me not be confounded, neither let my enemies laugh me to scorn. For none of them that wait on you shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause. Show me your ways, O Lord; and teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my Saviour: and I have waited on you all the day. Remember your compassions, O Lord, and your mercies, for they are from everlasting. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my sins of ignorance: remember me according to your mercy, for your goodness' sake, O Lord. Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgement: the meek will he teach his ways. All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies. For your name's sake, O Lord, do you also be merciful to my sin; for it is great. Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen. His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest truth to them. Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare. Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor. The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses. Look upon my affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins. Look upon my enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred. Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in you. The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for you, O Lord. Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
