Psalms Chapter 25 (Passion Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ [1] King David’s poetic praise to God Forever I will lift up my soul into your presence, Lord.

² Be there for me, God, for I keep trusting in you. Don’t allow my foes to gloat over me or the shame of defeat to overtake me.

³ For how could anyone be disgraced when he has entwined his heart with you? But they will all be defeated and ashamed when they harm the innocent.

⁴ Lord, direct me throughout my journey so I can experience your plans for my life. Reveal the life-paths that are pleasing to you.

⁵ Escort me along the way; take me by the hand and teach me. For you are the God of my increasing salvation; I have wrapped my heart into yours![2]

⁶ [6–7] Forgive my failures as a young man, and overlook the sins of my immaturity. Give me grace, Lord! Always look at me through your eyes of love — your forgiving eyes of mercy and compassion. When you think of me, see me as one you love and care for. How good you are to me!

⁷

⁸ When people turn to you, they discover how easy you are to please — so faithful and true! Joyfully you teach them the proper path, even when they go astray.

⁹ Keep showing the humble your path, and lead them into the best decision. Bring revelation-light that trains them in the truth.

¹⁰ All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful for those who follow the ways of his covenant.

¹¹ For the honor of your name, Lord, never count my sins, and forgive them all — lift their burden off of my life![3]

¹² But still one question remains: How do I live in the holy fear of God? Show me the right path to take.

¹³ Then prosperity and favor will be my portion, and my descendants will inherit all that is good.

¹⁴ There’s a private place reserved for the lovers of God, where they sit near him and receive the revelation-secrets of his promises.[4]

¹⁵ Rescue me, Lord, for you’re my only hero.

¹⁶ Sorrows fill my heart as I feel helpless, mistreated — I’m all alone and in misery! Come closer to me now, Lord, for I need your mercy.

¹⁷ Turn to me, for my problems seem to be going from bad to worse. Only you can free me from all these troubles!

¹⁸ Until you lift this burden, the burden of all my sins, my troubles and trials will be more than I can handle. Can’t you feel my pain?

¹⁹ Vicious enemies hate me. There are so many, Lord. Can’t you see?

²⁰ Will you protect me from their power against me? Let it never be said that I trusted you and you didn’t come to my rescue.

²¹ Your perfection and faithfulness are my bodyguards, for you are my hope and I trust in you as my only protection.

²² Zealously, God, we ask you to come save Israel from all her troubles, for you provide the ransom price for your people![5]
