[25:1] To you, O Lord, I offer my prayer;
[25:2] in you, my God, I trust. Save me from the shame of defeat; don't let my enemies gloat over me!
[25:3] Defeat does not come to those who trust in you, but to those who are quick to rebel against you.
[25:4] Teach me your ways, O Lord; make them known to me.
[25:5] Teach me to live according to your truth, for you are my God, who saves me. I always trust in you.
[25:6] Remember, O Lord, your kindness and constant love which you have shown from long ago.
[25:7] Forgive the sins and errors of my youth. In your constant love and goodness, remember me, Lord!
[25:8] Because the Lord is righteous and good, he teaches sinners the path they should follow.
[25:9] He leads the humble in the right way and teaches them his will.
[25:10] With faithfulness and love he leads all who keep his covenant and obey his commands.
[25:11] Keep your promise, Lord, and forgive my sins, for they are many.
[25:12] Those who have reverence for the Lord will learn from him the path they should follow.
[25:13] They will always be prosperous, and their children will possess the land.
[25:14] The Lord is the friend of those who obey him and he affirms his covenant with them.
[25:15] I look to the Lord for help at all times, and he rescues me from danger.
[25:16] Turn to me, Lord, and be merciful to me, because I am lonely and weak.
[25:17] Relieve me of my worries and save me from all my troubles.
[25:18] Consider my distress and suffering and forgive all my sins.
[25:19] See how many enemies I have; see how much they hate me.
[25:20] Protect me and save me; keep me from defeat. I come to you for safety.
[25:21] May my goodness and honesty preserve me, because I trust in you.
[25:22] From all their troubles, O God, save your people Israel!
