< Psalms 25 >

1 A Psalm of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
לְדָוִ֡ד אֵלֶ֥יךָ יְ֝הוָ֗ה נַפְשִׁ֥י אֶשָּֽׂא׃
2 O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.
אֱ‍ֽלֹהַ֗י בְּךָ֣ בָ֭טַחְתִּי אַל־אֵבֹ֑ושָׁה אַל־יַֽעַלְצ֖וּ אֹיְבַ֣י לִֽי׃
3 Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
גַּ֣ם כָּל־קֹ֭וֶיךָ לֹ֣א יֵבֹ֑שׁוּ יֵ֝בֹ֗שׁוּ הַבֹּוגְדִ֥ים רֵיקָֽם׃
4 Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.
דְּרָכֶ֣יךָ יְ֭הוָה הֹודִיעֵ֑נִי אֹ֖רְחֹותֶ֣יךָ לַמְּדֵֽנִי׃
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.
הַדְרִ֘יכֵ֤נִי בַאֲמִתֶּ֨ךָ ׀ וְֽלַמְּדֵ֗נִי כִּֽי־אַ֭תָּה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעִ֑י אֹותְךָ֥ קִ֝וִּ֗יתִי כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃
6 Remember, O LORD, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; for they have been from of old.
זְכֹר־רַחֲמֶ֣יךָ יְ֭הוָה וַחֲסָדֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י מֵעֹולָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה׃
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me, for Thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
חַטֹּ֤אות נְעוּרַ֨י ׀ וּפְשָׁעַ֗י אַל־תִּ֫זְכֹּ֥ר כְּחַסְדְּךָ֥ זְכָר־לִי־אַ֑תָּה לְמַ֖עַן טוּבְךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.
טֹוב־וְיָשָׁ֥ר יְהוָ֑ה עַל־כֵּ֤ן יֹורֶ֖ה חַטָּאִ֣ים בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃
9 He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way.
יַדְרֵ֣ךְ עֲ֭נָוִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּ֑ט וִֽילַמֵּ֖ד עֲנָוִ֣ים דַּרְכֹּֽו׃
10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
כָּל־אָרְחֹ֣ות יְ֭הוָה חֶ֣סֶד וֶאֱמֶ֑ת לְנֹצְרֵ֥י בְ֝רִיתֹ֗ו וְעֵדֹתָֽיו׃
11 For Thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
לְמַֽעַן־שִׁמְךָ֥ יְהוָ֑ה וְֽסָלַחְתָּ֥ לַ֝עֲוֹנִ֗י כִּ֣י רַב־הֽוּא׃
12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him will He instruct in the way that He should choose.
מִי־זֶ֣ה הָ֭אִישׁ יְרֵ֣א יְהוָ֑ה יֹ֝ורֶ֗נּוּ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יִבְחָֽר׃
13 His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land.
נַ֭פְשֹׁו בְּטֹ֣וב תָּלִ֑ין וְ֝זַרְעֹ֗ו יִ֣ירַשׁ אָֽרֶץ׃
14 The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it.
סֹ֣וד יְ֭הוָה לִירֵאָ֑יו וּ֝בְרִיתֹ֗ו לְהֹודִיעָֽם׃
15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net.
עֵינַ֣י תָּ֭מִיד אֶל־יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֤י הֽוּא־יֹוצִ֖יא מֵרֶ֣שֶׁת רַגְלָֽי׃
16 Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
פְּנֵה־אֵלַ֥י וְחָנֵּ֑נִי כִּֽי־יָחִ֖יד וְעָנִ֣י אָֽנִי׃
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.
צָרֹ֣ות לְבָבִ֣י הִרְחִ֑יבוּ מִ֝מְּצֽוּקֹותַ֗י הֹוצִיאֵֽנִי׃
18 See mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins.
רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִי וַעֲמָלִ֑י וְ֝שָׂ֗א לְכָל־חַטֹּאותָֽי׃
19 Consider how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me.
רְאֵֽה־אֹויְבַ֥י כִּי־רָ֑בּוּ וְשִׂנְאַ֖ת חָמָ֣ס שְׂנֵאֽוּנִי׃
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.
שָׁמְרָ֣ה נַ֭פְשִׁי וְהַצִּילֵ֑נִי אַל־אֵ֝בֹ֗ושׁ כִּֽי־חָסִ֥יתִי בָֽךְ׃
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee.
תֹּם־וָיֹ֥שֶׁר יִצְּר֑וּנִי כִּ֝֗י קִוִּיתִֽיךָ׃
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
פְּדֵ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מִ֝כֹּ֗ל צָֽרֹותָיו׃
