Psalms 25
1 Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
To you, Yahweh, I lift up my life!
2 in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
My God, I trust in you. Do not let me be humiliated; do not let my enemies rejoice triumphantly over me.
3 Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.
May no one who hopes in you be disgraced may those who act treacherously without cause be ashamed!
4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.
Make known to me your ways, Yahweh; teach me your paths.
5 Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.
Guide me into your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I hope in you all day long.
6 Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.
Call to mind, Yahweh, your acts of compassion and of covenant faithfulness; for they have always existed.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.
Do not think about the sins of my youth or my rebelliousness; Call me to mind with covenant faithfulness because of your goodness, Yahweh!
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.
Yahweh is good and upright; therefore he teaches sinners the way.
9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.
He guides the humble in what is right and he teaches them his way.
10 All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.
All the paths of Yahweh are steadfast love and faithfulness to those who keep his covenant and his solemn commands.
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.
For your name's sake, Yahweh, pardon my sin, for it is great.
12 Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.
Who is the man who fears Yahweh? The Lord will instruct him in the way that he should choose.
13 His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
His life will go along in goodness; and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.
The friendship of Yahweh is for those who honor him, and he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
My eyes are always on Yahweh, for he will free my feet from the net.
16 Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
Turn toward me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged; draw me out from my distress!
18 Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.
See my affliction and my toils; forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.
See my enemies, for they are many; they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
Protect my life and rescue me; do not let me be humiliated, for I take refuge in you!
21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.
May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I hope in you.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
Rescue Israel, God, from all of his troubles!
