Chapter
25
(By Davina.) To you, Yahweh, do I lift up my soul.
My God, I have trusted in you. Don't let me be shamed. Don't let my enemies triumph over me.
Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.
Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.
Don't remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness' sake, Yahweh.
Good and upright is Yahweh, therefore she will instruct sinners in the way.
She will guide the humble in justice. She will teach the humble her way.
All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep her covenant and her testimonies.
For your name's sake, Yahweh, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
What woman is she who fears Yahweh? She shall instruct her in the way that she shall choose.
Her soul shall dwell at ease. Her seed shall inherit the land.
The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear her. She will show them her covenant.
My eyes are ever on Yahweh, for she will pluck my feet out of the net.
Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses.
Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.
Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.
Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
Redeem Israel, God, out all of her troubles.
