< Psalms 25 >

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. To you, Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.
2 In you, my God, I trust. Let me not be put to shame.
My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.
3 And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded.
Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
4 May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths.
Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.
5 Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Savior, and I remain with you all day long.
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 O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past.
Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.
7 Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, 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 The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way.
Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.
9 He will direct the mild in judgment. He will teach the meek his ways.
He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to those who yearn for his covenant and his testimonies.
All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
11 Because of your name, O Lord, you will pardon my sin, for it is great.
For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.
12 Which is the man who fears the Lord? He has established a law for him, on the way that he has chosen.
Who [is] this — the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.
13 His soul will dwell upon good things, and his offspring will inherit the earth.
His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.
14 The Lord is a firmament to those who fear him, and his covenant will be made manifest to them.
The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant — to cause them to know.
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pull my feet from the snare.
Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.
16 Look upon me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.
17 The troubles of my heart have been multiplied. Deliver me from my needfulness.
The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.
18 See my lowliness and my hardship, and release all my offenses.
See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with an unjust hatred.
See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.
20 Preserve my soul and rescue me. I will not be ashamed, for I have hoped in you.
Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.
21 The innocent and the righteous have adhered to me, because I have remained with you.
Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.
22 Free Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
