Psalms 25
1 A Psalm of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
To you, Yahweh, I lift up my life!
2 O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.
My God, I trust in you. Do not let me be humiliated; do not let my enemies rejoice triumphantly over me.
3 Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
May no one who hopes in you be disgraced may those who act treacherously without cause be ashamed!
4 Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.
Make known to me your ways, Yahweh; teach me your paths.
5 Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; for Thou art the God of my salvation; for Thee do I wait all the day.
Guide me into your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I hope in you all day long.
6 Remember, O LORD, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; for they have been from of old.
Call to mind, Yahweh, your acts of compassion and of covenant faithfulness; for they have always existed.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me, for Thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
Do not think about the sins of my youth or my rebelliousness; Call me to mind with covenant faithfulness because of your goodness, Yahweh!
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.
Yahweh is good and upright; therefore he teaches sinners the way.
9 He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way.
He guides the humble in what is right and he teaches them his way.
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
All the paths of Yahweh are steadfast love and faithfulness to those who keep his covenant and his solemn commands.
11 For Thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
For your name's sake, Yahweh, pardon my sin, for it is great.
12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him will He instruct in the way that He should choose.
Who is the man who fears Yahweh? The Lord will instruct him in the way that he should choose.
13 His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land.
His life will go along in goodness; and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it.
The friendship of Yahweh is for those who honor him, and he makes his covenant known to them.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net.
My eyes are always on Yahweh, for he will free my feet from the net.
16 Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
Turn toward me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged; draw me out from my distress!
18 See mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins.
See my affliction and my toils; forgive all my sins.
19 Consider how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me.
See my enemies, for they are many; they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.
Protect my life and rescue me; do not let me be humiliated, for I take refuge in you!
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee.
May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I hope in you.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Rescue Israel, God, from all of his troubles!
