To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

O my God, in you I trust;

Psa 25:6  

Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

pardon my guilt, for it is great.

Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.

and his offspring shall inherit the land.

My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

Psa 25:16  

Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
bring me out of my distresses.

Consider my affliction and my trouble,
and forgive all my sins.

Consider how many are my foes,
and with what violent hatred they hate me.

Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!
Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I wait for you.

Redeem Israel, O God,
out of all his troubles.
