Context of Psalms 25:3

1O 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! Certainly none who rely on you will be humiliated. Those who deal in treachery will be thwarted and humiliated. 4Make me understand your ways, O Lord! Teach me your paths! 5Guide me into your truth and teach me. For you are the God who delivers me; on you I rely all day long.
