Read the chapter

1To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 2O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. 3Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. 4Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. 5Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day. 6Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. 7Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord. 8Good and upright is the Lord; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way. 9The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way. 10All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. 11For Your name’s sake, O Lord, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. 12Who is the man that fears the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. 13He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth. 14The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. 15My eyes are ever toward the Lord, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. 16Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted. 17The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses! 18Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins. 19Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. 20Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. 22Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their 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.
