The complete Psalm 25

“¹In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.

²I trust in you;
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
³No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous without cause.

⁴Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.
⁵Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
⁶Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
⁷Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.

⁸Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
⁹He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
¹⁰All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful
toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
¹¹For the sake of your name, Lord,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

¹²Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?
He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.
¹³They will spend their days in prosperity,
and their descendants will inherit the land.
¹⁴The Lord confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
¹⁵My eyes are ever on the Lord,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.

¹⁶Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
¹⁷Relieve the troubles of my heart
and free me from my anguish.
¹⁸Look on my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.
¹⁹See how numerous are my enemies
and how fiercely they hate me!

²⁰Guard my life and rescue me;
do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
²¹May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope, Lord, is in you.

²²Deliver Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!”

In the 14th verse, the Psalm reinforces the need to walk with God by affirming, “The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.”

When the Psalm says intimacy is for those who fear Him, many people misinterpret that we should be afraid of God, that is not what the Psalm means. To fear God is to have respect for him, for his authority before us, to realize that we are before the King of the Universe and that He is giving us the chance to be close to him, to walk with him.

The Psalm ends with the request to God to remove the anguish and loneliness. They are feelings common to many people, especially those who look for a missing loved one. This psalm is very strong and very powerful, whenever you feel need, pray with great faith and God will hear you.
