## Psalm 25 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.
2. Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.
3. For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.
4. I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.
5. I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.
6. I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,
7. so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.
8. O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.
9. O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,
10. in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.
11. But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.
12. My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.

## Psalm 25 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. In finem. Psalmus David. Judica me, Domine, quoniam ego in innocentia mea ingressus sum, et in Domino sperans non infirmabor.
2. Proba me, Domine, et tenta me; ure renes meos et cor meum.
3. Quoniam misericordia tua ante oculos meos est, et complacui in veritate tua.
4. Non sedi cum concilio vanitatis, et cum iniqua gerentibus non introibo.
5. Odivi ecclesiam malignantium, et cum impiis non sedebo.
6. Lavabo inter innocentes manus meas, et circumdabo altare tuum, Domine:
7. ut audiam vocem laudis, et enarrem universa mirabilia tua.
8. Domine, dilexi decorem domus tuæ, et locum habitationis gloriæ tuæ.
9. Ne perdas cum impiis, Deus, animam meam, et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam:
10. in quorum manibus iniquitates sunt; dextera eorum repleta est muneribus.
11. Ego autem in innocentia mea ingressus sum; redime me, et miserere mei.
12. Pes meus stetit in directo; in ecclesiis benedicam te, Domine.
