The Message

Psalm 25:5-16 The Message (MSG)

5. Take me by the hand;Lead me down the path of truth.You are my Savior, aren’t you?

6. Mark the milestones of your mercy and love, God;Rebuild the ancient landmarks!

7. Forget that I sowed wild oats;Mark me with your sign of love.Plan only the best for me, God!

8. God is fair and just;He corrects the misdirected,Sends them in the right direction.

9. He gives the rejects his hand,And leads them step-by-step.

10. From now on every road you travelWill take you to God.Follow the Covenant signs;Read the charted directions.

11. Keep up your reputation, God;Forgive my bad life;It’s been a very bad life.

12. My question: What are God-worshipers like?Your answer: Arrows aimed at God’s bull’s-eye.

13. They settle down in a promising place;Their kids inherit a prosperous farm.

14. God-friendship is for God-worshipers;They are the ones he confides in.

15. If I keep my eyes on God,I won’t trip over my own feet.

16. Look at me and help me!I’m all alone and in big trouble.
