Psalms 25
1 A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, lift I vp my soule.
Yahweh, my God, I give myself to you.
2 My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee.
I trust in you. Do not allow my enemies [to defeat me], with the result that I would be ashamed/disgraced. Do not allow my enemies to defeat/conquer me, with the result that they would rejoice.
3 So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgresse without cause.
Do not allow any of those who trust in you to be disappointed/disgraced. Cause those who (act treacherously toward/try to deceive) others to be disappointed/disgraced.
4 Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths.
Yahweh, show me the way that I should (conduct my life/live as you want me to), teach me how to act in the manner that you want me to act/behave.
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.
Teach me to conduct my life [by obeying] your truth because you are my God, the one who saves me. All the time I trust in you.
6 Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer.

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.
Forgive me for all the sinful things I did and the ways that I rebelled against you when I was young; I ask this because you faithfully love your people and do good things for them, Yahweh, do not forget me!
8 Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way.
