Psalms 25
1 Unto thee, O Yhwh, do I lift up my soul.
To you, Yahweh, I lift up my life!
2 O my God, I trust in thee: 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, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
May no one who hopes in you be disgraced may those who act treacherously without cause be ashamed!
4 Shew me thy ways, O Yhwh; teach me thy paths.
Make known to me your ways, Yahweh; teach me your paths.
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 your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I hope in you all day long.
6 Remember, O Yhwh, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever 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 Yhwh.
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 Yhwh: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
Yahweh is good and upright; therefore he teaches sinners the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
He guides the humble in what is right and he teaches them 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 steadfast love and faithfulness to those who keep his covenant and his solemn commands.
11 For thy name’s sake, O Yhwh, 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 Yhwh? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
Who is the man who fears Yahweh? The Lord will instruct him in the way that he should choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
His life will go along in goodness; and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 The secret of Yhwh is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
The friendship of Yahweh is for those who honor him, and he makes his covenant known to them.
15 Mine eyes are ever toward Yhwh; for he shall pluck 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 have mercy upon me; for I am desolate 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 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
See my affliction and my toils; forgive all my sins.
19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
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 put my trust 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; for I wait on 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!
