Psalm 25, Chant B

 

Psalm 25   Ad te, Domine, levavi

1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; my God, I put my trust in you; *
let me not be humiliated, nor let my enemies tri-umph o-ver me.

2 Let none who look to you be put to shame; *
let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes.

3 Show me your ways, O LORD, *
and teach me your paths.

4 Lead me in your truth and teach me, *
for you are the God of my salvation; in you have I trusted all the day long.

5 Remember, O LORD, your compassion and love, *
for they are from e-ver-last-ing.

6 Remember not the sins of my youth and my trans-gres-sions; *
remember me according to your love and for the sake of your goodness, O LORD.

7 Gracious and upright is the LORD; *
therefore he teaches sinners in his way.

8 He guides the humble in doing right *
and teaches his way to the low-ly.

9 All the paths of the LORD are love and faith-fulness *
to those who keep his covenant and his tes-ti-mo-nies.

10 For your Name’s sake, O LORD, *
forgive my sin, for it is great.

11 Who are they who fear the LORD? *
he will teach them the way that they should choose.

12 They shall dwell in pro-sper-ity, *
and their offspring shall inherit the land.

13 The LORD is a friend to those who fear him *
and will show them his cov-enant.

14 My eyes are ever looking to the LORD, *
for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

15 Turn to me and have pity on me, *
for I am left alone and in mis-ery.

16 The sorrows of my heart have in-creased; *
bring me out of my trou-bles.

17 Look upon my adversity and mi-sery *
and forgive me all my sin.

18 Look upon my enemies, for they are ma-ny, *
and they bear a violent hatred a-gainst me.

19 Protect my life and de-liv–er me; *
let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in you.

20 Let integrity and uprightness pre-serve me, *
for my hope has been in you.

21 Deliver Israel, O God, *
out of all his trou-bles.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. A-men.
