Psalms 25
1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
2 My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
3 Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
4 Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.
Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.
5 Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.
6 Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.
The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
8 Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:
The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.
He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.
10 All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.
12 What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way [that] he should choose.
Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.
13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.
His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.
The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.
My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.
16 Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
17 The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses;
The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.
18 Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.
19 Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me [with] cruel hatred.
Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.
Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
