Psalms 25:1-3

11O Lord, I come before you in prayer.

2My God, I trust in you. Please do not let me be humiliated; do not let my enemies triumphantly rejoice over me!

3Certainly none who rely on you will be humiliated. Those who deal in treachery will be thwarted and humiliated.

Notes

  1. 1. Psalms 25:1 Psalm 25. The psalmist asks for divine protection, guidance and forgiveness as he affirms his loyalty to and trust in the Lord. This psalm is an acrostic; every verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet, except for v. 18, which, like v. 19, begins with ר (resh) instead of the expected ק (qof). The final verse, which begins with פ (pe), stands outside the acrostic scheme. ↩
