Psalms 25
1 A Psalm of David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
To thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, I have trusted in thee: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.
O my God, in thee I have trusted. Let me not be put to shame. Let not my enemies triumph over me.
3 For none of them that wait on thee shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
Yea, none who wait for thee shall be put to shame. They shall be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Shew me thy ways, O Lord; and teach me thy paths.
Show me thy ways, O Jehovah. Teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art God my Saviour: and I have waited on thee all the day.
Guide me in thy truth, and teach me. For thou are the God of my salvation. For thee do I wait all the day.
6 Remember thy compassions, O Lord, and thy mercies, for they are from everlasting.
Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindness. For they have been ever of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to thy mercy, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. According to thy loving kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.
8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.
Good and upright is Jehovah. Therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.
The meek he will guide in justice, and the meek he will teach his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.
All the paths of Jehovah are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy name's sake, O Lord, do thou also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.
For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.
What man is he who fears Jehovah? Him he shall instruct in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.
The friendship of Jehovah is with those who fear him, and he will show them his covenant.
15 Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.
My eyes are ever toward Jehovah, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.
Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged. O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
Consider my affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
19 Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.
Consider my enemies, for they are many. And they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in thee.
O keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.
21 The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for thee, O Lord.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for thee.
22 Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all of his troubles.
