‭‭Psalms‬ ‭25:1‭-‬22‬ ‭MSG‬‬
[1-2] My head is high, God, held high; I’m looking to you, God; No hangdog skulking for me. [3] I’ve thrown in my lot with you; You won’t embarrass me, will you? Or let my enemies get the best of me? Don’t embarrass any of us Who went out on a limb for you. It’s the traitors who should be humiliated. [4] Show me how you work, God; School me in your ways. [5] Take me by the hand; Lead me down the path of truth. You are my Savior, aren’t you? [6] Mark the milestones of your mercy and love, God; Rebuild the ancient landmarks! [7] Forget that I sowed wild oats; Mark me with your sign of love. Plan only the best for me, God! [8] God is fair and just; He corrects the misdirected, Sends them in the right direction. [9] He gives the rejects his hand, And leads them step-by-step. [10] From now on every road you travel Will take you to God. Follow the Covenant signs; Read the charted directions. [11] Keep up your reputation, God; Forgive my bad life; It’s been a very bad life. [12] My question: What are God-worshipers like? Your answer: Arrows aimed at God’s bull’s-eye. [13] They settle down in a promising place; Their kids inherit a prosperous farm. [14] God-friendship is for God-worshipers; They are the ones he confides in. [15] If I keep my eyes on God, I won’t trip over my own feet. [16] Look at me and help me! I’m all alone and in big trouble. [17] My heart and mind are fighting each other; Call a truce to this civil war. [18] Take a hard look at my life of hard labor, Then lift this ton of sin. [19] Do you see how many people Have it in for me? How viciously they hate me? [20] Keep watch over me and keep me out of trouble; Don’t let me down when I run to you. [21] Use all your skill to put me together; I wait to see your finished product. [22] God, give your people a break From this run of bad luck.
