Psalm 25:1-11

Psalm 25This psalm is an acrostic poem, the verses of which begin with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. 1Of David. In you, LORD my God, I put my trust.

2I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

3No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

4Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.

5Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

6Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.

7Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good.

8Good and upright is the LORD ; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

9He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

10All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.

11For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
