Psalms 25
1 “Of David.” Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.] Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:
2 O my God, in thee do I trust, let me not be ashamed, let not my 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, none that wait on thee will be put to shame: let those be put to shame who deal treacherously 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 Show me, O Lord, thy ways; 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 thy mercies, O Lord, and thy kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age-past times, have they been.
7 The sins of my youth and my transgressions do not remember: according to thy kindness bear thou me in remembrance, for the sake of thy goodness, O Lord.
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 the Lord: therefore he pointeth out to sinners the right way.
Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.
9 He guideth the meek in justice, and he teacheth the meek his way.
May he guide patient wronged-ones to be righted, and teach such oppressed-ones his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are kindness 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 the sake of thy name, O Lord, pardon my iniquity: although it is great.
For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity, for great it is.
12 Who is that man that feareth the Lord? to him will he point out the way which he is to choose?
Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.
13 His soul shall abide in happiness: and his seed shall inherit the land.
His soul, with prosperity, shall tarry, and, his seed, shall possess the land.
14 The secret counsel of the Lord is for those that fear him, and his covenant—to make it known to them.
Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.
15 My eyes are ever [directed] toward the Lord; for he will draw out of the net my feet.
Mine eyes, are continually unto Yahweh, —for, he, bringeth, out of the net, my feet.
16 Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, for, alone and oppressed, I am.
17 The distresses of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my afflictions.
The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved, —and, out of my straits, brought me forth.
18 Look on my misery and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
Behold my humiliation and my pain, and take away all my sins.
19 Look at my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with the hatred of violence.
Behold my foes, for they abound, —and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.
20 Oh, guard my soul; and deliver me: let me not be put to shame; 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 guard me; for I wait on thee.
Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.
22 Redeem, O God, Israel out of all his distresses.
Redeem Israel, O God, —out of all his distresses.
