Psalm 25 "To you, O LORD, I lift my soul; I trust in you continually." Tune: Duke St. Sing Psalms.
Psalm 25
Tune: Duke St.
metre: LM
"Praise God! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD"
Falkirk Free Church
In the original Hebrew each each 7-9 syllable phrase begins with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet in order. It is one of the nine acrostic Psalms the others being Psalms 9, 10, 34, 37, 111, 112, 119, and 145. Wikipedia says:
"This psalm has a strong formal relationship with Psalm 34. Both are alphabetic acrostics, with missing each time the verse Waw, which was added a verse to Pe a prayer of deliverance of Israel. As an acrostic, the verses in the psalm are arranged according to the Hebrew alphabet, with the exception of the letters Bet, Waw and Qoph which together, according to Jewish interpreters, made reference to the word gehinom (hell)."

I'm not sure if I've cut and pasted the Hebrew is correctly; if not it will probably give someone a good chuckle. This was taken from 3 different worship services albeit to the same tune, so there are some volume and key changes. Nevertheless it might help to memorise this psalm in the Sing Psalms version if that is your goal. There is another version with different tunes here:

PSALM 25 L.M.
1 To you, O LORD, I lift my soul;
2 I trust in you continually.
Do not let me be put to shame,
Nor let my foes gloat over me.
3 No one who sets his hope in you
Will ever suffer such disgrace,
But those who act with treachery
Humiliating shame will face.
4 O LORD, reveal to me your ways,
And all your paths help me to know.
5 Direct and guide me in your truth;
Instruct me in the way to go.
You are my Saviour and my God;
All day I hope in you alone.
6 Remember, LORD, your love and grace
Which from past ages you have shown.
7 Do not recall my sins of youth
Or my rebellious, evil ways;
Remember me in your great love,
For you, O LORD, are good always.
8 Because the LORD is just and good,
He shows his paths to all who stray.
9 He guides the meek in what is right
And teaches them his holy way.
10 To those who keep his covenant laws
He shows his love consistently.
11 For your name’s sake, O LORD my God,
Forgive my great iniquity.
12 Who, then, are those who fear the LORD?
He’ll teach to them the chosen way
13 That they may prosper all their life;
Their children in the land will stay.
14 God’s friends are those who fear his name;
With them his cov’nant he will share.
15 My eyes are always on the LORD;
He’ll free my feet from every snare.
16 Turn to me, LORD, show me your grace;
I suffer pain and loneliness.
17 The troubles of my heart have grown;
Deliver me from my distress.
18 Look on my pain and suffering;
Forgive all my iniquity.
19 See how my foes have multiplied,
How fierce their hatred is for me!
20 O guard my life and rescue me,
And let me not be put to shame;
For I take refuge in you, LORD,
From those who would destroy my name.
21 Because I hope in you alone,
Let uprightness protect me still.
22 From all their troubles, O my God,
Redeem your people Israel.
