Psalms 25
1 BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] To You, O YHWH, I lift up my soul.
A Psalm of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, 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.
O my God, in Thee have I trusted, 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 for 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.
Show me Thy ways, O LORD; 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.
Guide me in Thy truth, and teach me; for Thou art the God of my salvation; for Thee do I wait all the day.
6 Remember Your mercies, O YHWH, And Your kindnesses, for they [are] from the age.
Remember, O LORD, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; for they have been from of old.
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 mercy remember Thou me, for Thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
8 Good and upright [is] YHWH, Therefore He directs sinners in the way.
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.
9 He causes the humble to tread in judgment, And teaches the humble His way.
He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way.
10 All the paths of YHWH [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto 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 LORD, 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 the LORD? 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 abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 The secret of YHWH [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant—to cause them to know.
The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it.
15 My eyes [are] continually to YHWH, For He brings my feet out from a net.
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net.
16 Turn to me, and favor me, For I [am] lonely and afflicted.
Turn Thee unto 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 enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.
18 See my affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
See 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 how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me, Do not let me be ashamed, for I trusted in You.
O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.
21 Integrity and uprightness keep me, For I have waited [on] You.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
