PSALMS 25

1 The song of David. Lord, to thee I have raised my soul; 2 my God, I trust in thee, be I not ashamed. Neither mine enemies scorn me; 3 for all men that suffer thee shall not be shamed. All men doing wicked things superfluously; be they shamed. 4 Lord, show thou thy ways to me; and teach thou me thy paths. 5 Dress thou me in thy truth, and teach thou me, for thou art God, my saviour; and I suffered thee all day. 6 Lord, have thou mind of thy merciful doings; and of thy mercies that be from the world. 7 Have thou not mind on the tres-passes of my youth; and on mine unknowings. Thou, Lord, have mind on me by thy mercy; for thy goodness. 8 The Lord is sweet and rightful; for this cause he shall give a law to men trespassing in the way. 9 He shall dress meek men in doom; he shall teach mild men his ways. 10 All the ways of the Lord be mercy and truth; to men seeking his testament, and his witnessings. 11 Lord, for thy name, thou shalt do mercy to my sin; for it is much. 12 Who is a man, that dreadeth the Lord? he ordaineth to him a law in the way which he should choose. 13 His soul shall dwell in goods; and his seed shall inherit the land. 14 The Lord is a firmness to men dreading him; and his testament is, that it be showed to them. 15 Mine eyes be ever[more] toward the Lord; for he shall pull away [or pull up] my feet from the snare. 16 Behold thou to me, and have thou mercy on me; for I am one alone and poor. 17 The tribulations of mine heart be multiplied; deliver thou me of my needs. 18 See thou my meekness and my travail; and forgive thou all my tres-passes. 19 Behold thou mine enemies, for they be multiplied; and they hate me by wicked hatred. 20 Keep thou my soul, and deliver me; be I not ashamed, for I hoped in thee. 21 Innocent men and rightful cleaved to me; for I suffered thee. 22 God, deliver thou Israel; from all his tribulations.
