Psalms 25
1 A Psalm of David. To you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
Unto thee, O Yhwh, do I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, I have trusted in you: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 For none of them that wait on you shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 Show me your ways, O Lord; and teach me your paths.
Shew me thy ways, O Yhwh; teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my Saviour: and I have waited on you all the day.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6 Remember your compassions, O Lord, and your mercies, for they are from everlasting.
Remember, O Yhwh, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to your mercy, for your goodness' sake, O Lord.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Yhwh.
8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.
Good and upright is Yhwh: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgement: the meek will he teach his ways.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he 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 Yhwh are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your name's sake, O Lord, do you also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.
For thy name’s sake, O Yhwh, pardon mine 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 that feareth Yhwh? him shall he teach 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 earth.
14 The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.
The secret of Yhwh is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15 Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.
Mine eyes are ever toward Yhwh; for he shall 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 unto 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.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19 Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.
Consider mine 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 you.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21 The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for you, O Lord.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22 Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
