Read the chapter

1By David. To you, Yahweh, do I lift up my soul. ✦ 2My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me. ✦ 3Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause. ✦ 4Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths. ✦ 5Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long. ✦ 6Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times. ✦ 7Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh. ✦ 8Good and upright is Yahweh, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way. ✦ 9He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way. ✦ 10All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. ✦ 11For your name’s sake, Yahweh, pardon my iniquity, for it is great. ✦ 12What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose. ✦ 13His soul shall dwell at ease. His offspring shall inherit the land. ✦ 14The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant. ✦ 15My eyes are ever on Yahweh, for he will pluck my feet out of the net. ✦ 16Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted. ✦ 17The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses. ✦ 18Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins. ✦ 19Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred. ✦ 20Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you. ✦ 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you. ✦ 22Redeem Israel, God, out all of his troubles. ✦

Where this chapter connects

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 25 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
