Psalms 25

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

[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift 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.

My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

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

Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

4 Your ways, O YHWH, cause me to know, You teach me Your paths.

Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy 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.

Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

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

Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.

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.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.

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

Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:

9 He causes the humble to tread in judgment, And teaches the humble His way.

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

10 All the paths of YHWH [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

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

For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

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

What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way [that] he should choose.

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

His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.

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

The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.

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

Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.

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

Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.

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

The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses;

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

Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.

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

Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me [with] cruel hatred.

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

Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.

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

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

22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!

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