Psalms 25
1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
“A psalm of David.” To thee, O LORD! do I lift up my soul.
2 My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
O my God! I trust in thee; let me not be put to shame! Let not my enemies triumph over me!
3 Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
Yea, none that hope in thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame who wickedly forsake thee.
4 Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.
Cause me to know thy ways, O LORD! 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.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me! For thou art the God from whom cometh my help; In thee do I trust at all times!
6 Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
Remember thy loving-kindness, O LORD! and thy tender mercy, Which thou hast exercised of old!
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.
Remember not the faults and transgressions of my youth! 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:
Good and righteous is the LORD; Therefore showeth he to sinners the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.
The humble he guideth in his statutes, And the humble he teacheth his way.
10 All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
All the doings of the LORD are mercy and truth To those who keep his covenant and his precepts.
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, Pardon my iniquity; 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? Him doth he show the way which he should choose.
13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.
He shall himself dwell in prosperity, And his offspring 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 friendship of the LORD is with them that fear him, And he will teach them his covenant.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.
Mine eyes are ever directed to the LORD, For he will pluck my feet from the net.
16 Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
Look upon me, and pity me; For I am desolate and afflicted!
17 The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses;
Lighten the sorrows of my heart, And deliver me from my troubles!
18 Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
Look upon my affliction and distress, And forgive all my sins!
19 Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me [with] cruel hatred.
Consider how many are my enemies, And with what violence they hate me!
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.
Guard thou my life, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in thee!
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For on thee do I rest my hope!
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Redeem Israel, O God! from all his troubles!
