'''Psalm 25''' is the 25th psalm of the [[Book of Psalms]], beginning in English in the [[King James Version]]: "Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.". The Book of Psalms is part of the [[Ketuvim|third section]] of the [[Tanakh|Hebrew Bible]], and a book of the [[Christianity|Christian]] [[Old Testament]]. In the Greek [[Septuagint]] version of the Bible, and in the Latin [[Vulgate]], this psalm is '''Psalm 24''' in a slightly different numbering system. In Latin, it is known as "'''Ad te Domine levavi animam meam'''".<ref>[http://medievalist.net/psalmstxt/ps24.htm Parallel Latin/English Psalter / Psalmus 24 (25)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161010123230/http://www.medievalist.net/psalmstxt/ps24.htm |date=10 October 2016 }} medievalist.net</ref> The psalm, attributed to [[David]], has the form of an [[acrostic]] Hebrew poem.
