Psalms 25

1A Psalm of David. [1] To 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!

Psalms 26

1A Psalm of David. [1] Vindicate me, O LORD, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the LORD; I shall not slip.

2Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart.

3For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth.

4I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites.

5I have hated the assembly of evildoers, And will not sit with the wicked.

6I will wash my hands in innocence; So I will go about Your altar, O LORD,

7That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.

8LORD, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.

9Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

10In whose hands is a sinister scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes.

11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me and be merciful to me.

12My foot stands in an even place; In the congregations I will bless the LORD.

Psalms 27

1A Psalm of David. [1] The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

2When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell.

3Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident.

4One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple.

5For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.

6And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”

9Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me.

11Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.

12Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.

13I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.

14Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!

Psalms 28

1A Psalm of David. [1] To You I will cry, O LORD my Rock: Do not be silent to me, Lest, if You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.

2Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

3Do not take me away with the wicked And with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace to their neighbors, But evil is in their hearts.

4Give them according to their deeds, And according to the wickedness of their endeavors; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them what they deserve.

5Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.

6Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!

7The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.

8The LORD is their strength, And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.

9Save Your people, And bless Your inheritance; Shepherd them also, And bear them up forever.
