Psalms 25

1 Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.

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, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

3 Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.

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

4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.

Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

5 Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.

Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou [art] the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

6 Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.

Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.

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.

Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.

Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.

He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble 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 Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, 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] this — the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

13 His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.

His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.

14 The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.

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

15 My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.

Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.

16 Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.

Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.

17 The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.

The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.

18 Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.

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

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.

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

20 Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.

Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.

21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.

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

22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.

Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
