Psalms 25

1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] To You, O YHWH, I lift up my soul.

2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

My God, in You I have trusted, Do not let me be ashamed, Do not let my enemies exult over me.

3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

Also let none waiting on You be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

Your ways, O YHWH, cause me to know, You 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.

Cause me to tread in Your truth, and teach me, For You [are] the God of my salvation, Near You I have waited all the day.

6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.

Remember Your mercies, O YHWH, And Your kindnesses, for they [are] from the age.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not remember. According to Your kindness be mindful of me, For Your goodness’ sake, O YHWH.

8 Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

Good and upright [is] YHWH, Therefore He directs sinners in the way.

9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

He causes the humble to tread in judgment, And teaches the humble 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 YHWH [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

11 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it [is] great.

For Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, You have pardoned my iniquity, for it [is] great.

12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose.

Who [is] this—the man fearing YHWH? He directs him in the way He chooses.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

His soul remains in good, And his seed possesses the land.

14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

The secret of YHWH [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant—to cause them to know.

15 Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

My eyes [are] continually to YHWH, For He brings my feet out from a net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted.

Turn to me, and favor me, For I [am] lonely and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O] bring thou me out of my distresses.

The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, Bring me out from my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

See my affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

See my enemies, for they have been many, And they have hated me with violent hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

Keep my soul, and deliver me, Do not let me be ashamed, for I trusted in You.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

Integrity and uprightness keep me, For I have waited [on] You.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
