Psalms

Chapter 25

  1. 1

    Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.

  2. 2

    Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.

  3. 3

    For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.

  4. 4

    I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.

  5. 5

    I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.

  6. 6

    I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,

  7. 7

    so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.

  8. 8

    O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.

  9. 9

    O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,

  10. 10

    in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.

  11. 11

    But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.

  12. 12

    My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
