Text for the Day -- Psalm 25:1-10
----------
To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame; do not let
my enemies exult over me.
Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame; let them be
ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my
salvation; for you I wait all day long.
Be mindful of your mercy, O LORD, and of your steadfast love, for
they have been from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according
to your steadfast love remember me, for your goodness' sake, O LORD!
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the
way.
He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.
All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for
those who keep his covenant and his decrees.
