25:1Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
25:2My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
25:3Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
25:4Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.
25:5Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
25:6Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
25:7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.
25:8Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:
25:9The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.
25:10All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
25:11For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
25:12What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
25:13His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.
25:14The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.
25:15Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.
25:16Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
25:17The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses;
25:18Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
25:19Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with cruel hatred.
25:20Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.
25:21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
25:22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
26:0A Psalm of David.
26:1Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity, and I have confided in Jehovah: I shall not slip.
26:2Prove me, Jehovah, and test me; try my reins and my heart:
26:3For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes, and I have walked in thy truth.
26:4I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;
26:5I have hated the congregation of evil-doers, and I have not sat with the wicked.
26:6I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,
26:7That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works.
26:8Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
26:9Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood;
26:10In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.
26:11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity. Redeem me, and be gracious unto me.
26:12My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
27:0A Psalm of David.
27:1Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
27:2When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
27:3If a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war rise against me, in this will I be confident.
27:4One thing have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire of him in his temple.
27:5For in the day of evil he will hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tent will he keep me concealed: he will set me high upon a rock.
27:6And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.
27:7Hear, Jehovah; with my voice do I call; be gracious unto me, and answer me.
27:8My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.
27:9Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
27:10For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up.
27:11Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.
27:12Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
27:13Unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living ...!
27:14Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.
