The God of My Salvation | Psalm 25 | Song & Teaching

✨ Psalm 25 is a prayer of trust, humility, and deliverance. David lifts up his soul to Yahweh, asking for guidance, forgiveness, and protection from enemies. This psalm is not only deeply personal—it also reaches prophetically into God’s covenant purposes, ending with a cry for the redemption of Israel.

At its core, Psalm 25 teaches us that God’s ways are mercy and truth to those who walk in His covenant. The psalmist acknowledges both his own sin and God’s great mercy, showing us that our hope is not in our own strength but in God’s steadfast love.

Key themes in this psalm:

Trust in God alone: “To You, Yahweh, I lift up my soul” (v.1). Trusting Him means surrendering our fears, shame, and enemies into His hands.

Divine guidance: “Show me Your ways, Yahweh. Teach me Your paths” (v.4). God promises to lead the humble in His truth.

Forgiveness of sin: “Don’t remember the sins of my youth” (v.7). The psalmist admits his failures yet clings to God’s goodness and covenant love.

Fear of the Lord: “The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear Him” (v.14). Those who revere Him walk in His covenant blessings.

Hope for redemption: The psalm closes with a prophetic cry: “Redeem Israel, God, out of all his troubles” (v.22). This points forward to Messiah, who brings ultimate deliverance.

Psalm 25 reminds us that God’s covenant love is greater than our sin, His guidance steadier than our steps, and His redemption stronger than our enemies.

The God of My Salvation

[Verse 1]
To You, Yahweh, I lift up my soul,
My God, I have trusted in You.
Don’t let me be shamed, don’t let enemies rise,
Don’t let them triumph over me.

[Verse 2]
No one who waits for You shall be shamed,
But the treacherous, without cause, shall fall.
Show me Your ways, Yahweh, teach me Your paths,
Guide me in Your truth and teach me.

[Chorus]
For You are the God of my salvation,
I wait for You all day long.
Remember Your mercy, remember Your love,
For they are from ancient times.

[Verse 3]
Don’t remember the sins of my youth,
Nor my transgressions, Yahweh.
But remember me according to kindness,
For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

[Verse 4]
Good and upright is Yahweh,
He will instruct sinners in the way.
He guides the humble in justice,
He teaches the humble His way.

[Bridge]
All the paths of Yahweh are mercy and truth,
For those who keep His covenant, His word.
For Your name’s sake, Yahweh, pardon my iniquity,
For it is great.

[Verse 5]
What man is he who fears Yahweh?
He shall instruct him in the way he should choose.
His soul will dwell at ease,
His offspring will inherit the land.

[Chorus]
The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear Him,
He will show them His covenant.
My eyes are ever on Yahweh,
He will pluck my feet from the net.

[Verse 6]
Turn to me and have mercy,
For I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged,
Bring me out of my distresses.

[Verse 7]
Consider my affliction and my travail,
And forgive all my sins.
Consider my enemies, for they are many,
They hate me with cruel hatred.

[Chorus (Refrain)]
Oh keep my soul and deliver me,
Let me not be disappointed.
I take refuge in You, O Yahweh,
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me.

[Outro]
For I wait for You, Yahweh.
Redeem Israel, O God,
Out of all his troubles,
Out of all his troubles.
