Context of Psalms 25:5

3Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced. 4Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You. 6Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age. 7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.
