Psalms 25
1 Unto thee, O Yhwh, do I lift up my soul.
David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.] Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:
2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
O my God, in thee, have I put my trust, Let me not be put to shame, Let not my foe exult over me:
3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!
4 Shew me thy ways, O Yhwh; teach me thy paths.
Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited all the day:
6 Remember, O Yhwh, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age-past times, have they been.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Yhwh.
The sins of my youth, and my transgressions, do not thou call to mind, —According to thine own lovingkindness, remember thou me, for the sake of thine own goodness, O Yahweh.
8 Good and upright is Yhwh: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
May he guide patient wronged-ones to be righted, and teach such oppressed-ones his way.
10 All the paths of Yhwh are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
All the paths of Yahweh, are lovingkindness and faithfulness, to such as keep his covenant, and his testimonies.
11 For thy name’s sake, O Yhwh, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity, for great it is.
12 What man is he that feareth Yhwh? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
His soul, with prosperity, shall tarry, and, his seed, shall possess the land.
14 The secret of Yhwh is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward Yhwh; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
Mine eyes, are continually unto Yahweh, —for, he, bringeth, out of the net, my feet.
16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, for, alone and oppressed, I am.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved, —and, out of my straits, brought me forth.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
Behold my humiliation and my pain, and take away all my sins.
19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
Behold my foes, for they abound, —and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
Oh keep my soul, and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame, for I have sought refuge in thee.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
Redeem Israel, O God, —out of all his distresses.
