< Psalms 25 >
1 A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, lift I vp my soule.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. To you, Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
2 My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee.
In you, my God, I trust. Let me not be put to shame.
3 So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgresse without cause.
And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded.
4 Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths.
May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths.
5 Leade me foorth in thy trueth, and teache me: for thou art the God of my saluation: in thee doe I trust all the day.
Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Savior, and I remain with you all day long.
6 Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer.
O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past.
7 Remember not the sinnes of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindenesse remember thou me, euen for thy goodnesse sake, O Lord.
Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, O Lord.
8 Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way.
The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way.
9 Them that be meeke, will hee guide in iudgement, and teach the humble his way.
He will direct the mild in judgment. He will teach the meek his ways.
10 All the pathes of the Lord are mercie and trueth vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to those who yearn for his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy Names sake, O Lord, be merciful vnto mine iniquitie, for it is great.
Because of your name, O Lord, you will pardon my sin, for it is great.
12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him wil he teache the way that hee shall chuse.
Which is the man who fears the Lord? He has established a law for him, on the way that he has chosen.
13 His soule shall dwell at ease, and his seede shall inherite the land.
His soul will dwell upon good things, and his offspring will inherit the earth.
14 The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding.
The Lord is a firmament to those who fear him, and his covenant will be made manifest to them.
15 Mine eyes are euer towarde the Lord: for he will bring my feete out of the net.
My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pull my feet from the snare.
16 Turne thy face vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon me: for I am desolate and poore.
Look upon me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
17 The sorowes of mine heart are enlarged: drawe me out of my troubles.
The troubles of my heart have been multiplied. Deliver me from my needfulness.
18 Looke vpon mine affliction and my trauel, and forgiue all my sinnes.
See my lowliness and my hardship, and release all my offenses.
19 Beholde mine enemies, for they are manie, and they hate me with cruell hatred.
Consider my enemies, for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with an unjust hatred.
20 Keepe my soule, and deliuer me: let me not be confounded, for I trust in thee.
Preserve my soul and rescue me. I will not be ashamed, for I have hoped in you.
21 Let mine vprightnes and equitie preserue me: for mine hope is in thee.
The innocent and the righteous have adhered to me, because I have remained with you.
22 Deliuer Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Free Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
