Psalms 25
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1[1] LORD, I put my life in your hands.[2]
- 2I trust in you, my God, and I will not be disappointed. My enemies will not laugh at me.
- 3No one who trusts in you will be disappointed. But disappointment will come to those who try to deceive others. They will get nothing.
- 4LORD, help me learn your ways. Show me how you want me to live.
- 5Guide me and teach me your truths. You are my God, my Savior. You are the one I have been waiting for.
- 6Remember to be kind to me, LORD. Show me the tender love that you have always had.
- 7Don’t remember the sinful things I did when I was young. Because you are good, LORD, remember me with your faithful love.
- 8The LORD is good and does what is right. He shows sinners the right way to live.
- 9He teaches his ways to humble people. He leads them with fairness.
- 10The LORD is kind and true to those who obey what he said in his agreement.
- 11LORD, I have done many wrong things. But I ask you to forgive them all to show your goodness.
- 12When people choose to follow the LORD, he shows them the best way to live.
- 13They will enjoy good things, and their children will get the land God promised.
- 14The LORD tells his secrets to his followers. He teaches them about his agreement.
- 15I always look to the LORD for help. Only he can free me from my troubles.[3]
