Scripture Focus

1Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

4Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

6Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

8Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

10All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

12What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

15Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

19Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

Psalms 25:1-22

Biblical Context

Psalm 25 is a prayer of trust and guidance. The speaker lifts the soul to God, seeking truth, mercy, forgiveness, and steadfast guidance while waiting on the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's lens, the Lord is the I AM within—the steady, unshakable awareness you employ while lifting your soul in prayer. To trust is to enter a state of consciousness where you refuse to identify with limitation; mercy and truth are the inner atmosphere that accompanies that state and guides your choices. The 'ways' and 'paths' are simply habits of thought you consent to reform, not distant commands. The meek are those who yield, not by weakness but by willingness to follow the inner signal you call guidance. When you keep covenant with your inner testimonies—your determined, consistent thoughts of good—you discover that all routes become mercy and truth. By this inner alignment, you are preserved, your enemies fade as you dwell in the I AM. Let the verse teach your imagination to trust that the I AM is before you, guiding every motion.
