Psalms 25

1 To thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] To You, O YHWH, I lift up my soul.

2 O my God, in thee I have trusted. Let me not be put to shame. Let not my enemies triumph over me.

My God, in You I have trusted, Do not let me be ashamed, Do not let my enemies exult over me.

3 Yea, none who wait for thee shall be put to shame. They shall be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.

Also let none waiting on You be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

4 Show me thy ways, O Jehovah. Teach me thy paths.

Your ways, O YHWH, cause me to know, You teach me Your paths.

5 Guide me in thy truth, and teach me. For thou are the God of my salvation. For thee do I wait all the day.

Cause me to tread in Your truth, and teach me, For You [are] the God of my salvation, Near You I have waited all the day.

6 Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindness. For they have been ever of old.

Remember Your mercies, O YHWH, And Your kindnesses, for they [are] from the age.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. According to thy loving kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not remember. According to Your kindness be mindful of me, For Your goodness’ sake, O YHWH.

8 Good and upright is Jehovah. Therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

Good and upright [is] YHWH, Therefore He directs sinners in the way.

9 The meek he will guide in justice, and the meek he will teach his way.

He causes the humble to tread in judgment, And teaches the humble His way.

10 All the paths of Jehovah are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

All the paths of YHWH [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

11 For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

For Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, You have pardoned my iniquity, for it [is] great.

12 What man is he who fears Jehovah? Him he shall instruct in the way that he shall choose.

Who [is] this—the man fearing YHWH? He directs him in the way He chooses.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall inherit the land.

His soul remains in good, And his seed possesses the land.

14 The friendship of Jehovah is with those who fear him, and he will show them his covenant.

The secret of YHWH [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant—to cause them to know.

15 My eyes are ever toward Jehovah, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

My eyes [are] continually to YHWH, For He brings my feet out from a net.

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

Turn to me, and favor me, For I [am] lonely and afflicted.

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

The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, Bring me out from my distresses.

18 Consider my affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.

See my affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many. And they hate me with cruel hatred.

See my enemies, for they have been many, And they have hated me with violent hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

Keep my soul, and deliver me, Do not let me be ashamed, for I trusted in You.

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

Integrity and uprightness keep me, For I have waited [on] You.

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

Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
