Psalms 25
1 BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] To You, O YHWH, I lift up my soul.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. To you, Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
2 My God, in You I have trusted, Do not let me be ashamed, Do not let my enemies exult over me.
In you, my God, I trust. Let me not be put to shame.
3 Also let none waiting on You be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded.
4 Your ways, O YHWH, cause me to know, You teach me Your paths.
May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths.
5 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.
Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Savior, and I remain with you all day long.
6 Remember Your mercies, O YHWH, And Your kindnesses, for they [are] from the age.
O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past.
7 Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not remember. According to Your kindness be mindful of me, For Your goodness’ sake, O YHWH.
Do not remember the offenses of my youth and my ignorances. Remember me according to your mercy, because of your goodness, O Lord.
8 Good and upright [is] YHWH, Therefore He directs sinners in the way.
The Lord is sweet and righteous. Because of this, he will grant a law to those who fall short in the way.
9 He causes the humble to tread in judgment, And teaches the humble His way.
He will direct the mild in judgment. He will teach the meek his ways.
10 All the paths of YHWH [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to those who yearn for his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, You have pardoned my iniquity, for it [is] great.
Because of your name, O Lord, you will pardon my sin, for it is great.
12 Who [is] this—the man fearing YHWH? He directs him in the way He chooses.
Which is the man who fears the Lord? He has established a law for him, on the way that he has chosen.
13 His soul remains in good, And his seed possesses the land.
His soul will dwell upon good things, and his offspring will inherit the earth.
14 The secret of YHWH [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant—to cause them to know.
The Lord is a firmament to those who fear him, and his covenant will be made manifest to them.
15 My eyes [are] continually to YHWH, For He brings my feet out from a net.
My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pull my feet from the snare.
16 Turn to me, and favor me, For I [am] lonely and afflicted.
Look upon me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
17 The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, Bring me out from my distresses.
The troubles of my heart have been multiplied. Deliver me from my needfulness.
18 See my affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
See my lowliness and my hardship, and release all my offenses.
19 See my enemies, for they have been many, And they have hated me with violent hatred.
Consider my enemies, for they have been multiplied, and they have hated me with an unjust hatred.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me, Do not let me be ashamed, for I trusted in You.
Preserve my soul and rescue me. I will not be ashamed, for I have hoped in you.
21 Integrity and uprightness keep me, For I have waited [on] You.
The innocent and the righteous have adhered to me, because I have remained with you.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
Free Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
