Psalms 25:1-8

1 To you, O Lord, I offer my prayer;
2 in you, my God, I trust. Save me from the shame of defeat; don't let my enemies gloat over me!
3 Defeat does not come to those who trust in you, but to those who are quick to rebel against you.
4 Teach me your ways, O Lord; make them known to me.
5 Teach me to live according to your truth, for you are my God, who saves me. I always trust in you.
6 Remember, O Lord, your kindness and constant love which you have shown from long ago.
7 Forgive the sins and errors of my youth. In your constant love and goodness, remember me, Lord!
8 Because the Lord is righteous and good, he teaches sinners the path they should follow.
