< Psalms 25 >
1 “Of David.” Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.
2 O my God, in thee do I trust, let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me.
My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies 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.
Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
4 Show me, O Lord, thy ways; teach me thy paths.
Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to 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.
Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou [art] the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.
6 Remember thy mercies, O Lord, and thy kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.
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.
Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.
8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore he pointeth out to sinners the right way.
Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.
9 He guideth the meek in justice, and he teacheth the meek his way.
He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble 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 Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
11 For the sake of thy name, O Lord, pardon my iniquity: although it is great.
For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.
12 Who is that man that feareth the Lord? to him will he point out the way which he is to choose?
Who [is] this — the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.
13 His soul shall abide in happiness: and his seed shall inherit the land.
His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth 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.
The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant — to cause them to 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 Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.
16 Turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.
17 The distresses of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my afflictions.
The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.
18 Look on my misery and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
19 Look at my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with the hatred of violence.
See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.
20 Oh, guard my soul; and deliver me: let me not be put to shame; for I put my trust in thee.
Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.
21 Let integrity and uprightness guard me; for I wait on thee.
Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.
22 Redeem, O God, Israel out of all his distresses.
Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
