Psalms 25:1-30:12 A Psalm of David. To You, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm of David. To You, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul. ² O my God, I have trusted in You; let me not be confounded, neither let my enemies laugh me to scorn. ³ For none of them that wait on You shall in any way be ashamed; let them be ashamed that transgress without cause. ⁴ Show me Your ways, O Lord; and teach me Your paths. ⁵ Lead me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are God my Savior; and I have waited on You all the day. ⁶ Remember Your compassions, O Lord, and Your mercies, for they are from everlasting. ⁷ Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my sins of ignorance; remember me according to Your mercy, for Your goodness' sake, O Lord. ⁸ Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in the way. ⁹ The meek will He guide in judgment; the meek will He teach His ways. ¹⁰ All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek His covenant and His testimonies. ¹¹ For Your name's sake, O Lord, be merciful to my sin; for it is great. ¹² Who is the man that fears the Lord? He shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen. ¹³ His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth. ¹⁴ The Lord is the strength of them that fear Him; and His covenant is to manifest truth to them. ¹⁵ My eyes are continually to the Lord; for He shall draw my feet out of the snare. ¹⁶ Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor. ¹⁷ The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses. ¹⁸ Look upon my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins. ¹⁹ Look upon my enemies; for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with unjust hatred. ²⁰ Keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in You. ²¹ The harmless and upright joined themselves to me; for I waited for You, O Lord. ²² Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions. ²⁶ ¹ A Psalm of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence; and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved. ² Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my mind and my heart. ³ For Your mercy is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with Your truth. ⁴ I have not sat with the council of vanity, and shall by no means enter in with transgressors. ⁵ I have hated the assembly of evildoers; and will not sit with the ungodly. ⁶ I will wash my hands in innocence, and compass Your altar, O Lord; ⁷ to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all Your wonderful works. ⁸ O Lord, I have loved the beauty of Your house, and the place of the tabernacle of Your glory. ⁹ Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men; ¹⁰ in whose hands are iniquities, and their right hand is filled with bribes. ¹¹ But I have walked in my innocence; redeem me, and have mercy upon me. ¹² My foot stands in an even place; in the congregations will I bless You, O Lord. ²⁷ ¹ A Psalm of David, before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my Savior; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ² When evildoers drew near against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and my enemies, they fainted and fell. ³ Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid; Though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident. ⁴ One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek; that I should dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey His temple. ⁵ For in the day of my afflictions He hid me in His tabernacle; He sheltered me in the secret of His tabernacle; He set me up on a rock. ⁶ And now, behold, He has lifted up my head over my enemies; I went round and offered in His tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing, I will sing psalms unto the Lord. ⁷ Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud; pity me, and hearken to me. ⁸ My heart said to You, I have diligently sought Your face; Your face, O Lord, I will seek. ⁹ Turn not Your face away from me, turn not away from Your servant in anger; be my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Savior, overlook me not. ¹⁰ For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to Himself. ¹¹ Teach me, O Lord, in Your way, and guide me in a right path, because of my enemies. ¹² Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself. ¹³ I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. ¹⁴ Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened; yea, wait on the Lord! ²⁸ ¹ A Psalm of David. To You, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me; lest You be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit. ² Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to You, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy temple. ³ Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but evil are in their hearts. ⁴ Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense unto them. ⁵ Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of His hands, You shall pull them down, and shall not build them up. ⁶ Blessed be the Lord, for He has hearkened to the voice of my petition. ⁷ The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in Him, and I am helped; my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to Him. ⁸ The Lord is the strength of His people, and the saving defender of His anointed. ⁹ Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance; and take care of them, and lift them up forever. ²⁹ ¹ A Psalm of David, on the occasion of the solemn assembly of the Tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, you sons of God, bring to the Lord young rams; bring to the Lord glory and honor. ² Bring to the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the lord in His holy court. ³ The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory has thundered; the Lord is upon many waters. ⁴ The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. ⁵ The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord will break the cedars of Lebanon. ⁶ And He will beat them small, even Lebanon itself, like a calf; and the beloved one is as a young unicorn. ⁷ The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire. ⁸ The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Kadesh. ⁹ The voice of the Lord strengthens the deer, and will uncover the thickets; and in His temple everyone speaks of His glory. ¹⁰ The Lord will dwell on the waterflood; and the Lord will sit as king forever. ¹¹ The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace. ³⁰ ¹ For the end, A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will exalt You, O Lord; for You have lifted me up, and not caused my enemies to rejoice over me. ² O Lord my God, I cried to You, and You healed me. ³ O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Hades, You have delivered me from among them that go down to the pit. ⁴ Sing to the Lord, you His saints, and give thanks for the remembrance of His holiness. ⁵ For anger is in His wrath, but life in His favor; weeping shall tarry for the evening, but joy comes in the morning. ⁶ And I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. ⁷ O Lord, in Your good pleasure You added strength to my beauty; but You turned away Your face, and I was troubled. ⁸ To You, O Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make supplication. ⁹ What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to destruction? Shall the dust give praise to You? Or shall it declare Your truth? ¹⁰ The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me; the Lord has become my helper. ¹¹ You have turned my mourning into joy for me; You have removed my sackcloth, and have clothed me with gladness; ¹² that my glory may sing praise to You, and I may not be pierced with sorrow. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
