Psalms 25
1 BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] To You, O YHWH, I lift up my soul.
“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 do I trust, let me not be ashamed, let not my 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 will be put to shame: let those be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Your ways, O YHWH, cause me to know, You teach me Your paths.
Show me, O Lord, thy ways; 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.
Lead me 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 thy mercies, O Lord, and thy 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.
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.
8 Good and upright [is] YHWH, Therefore He directs sinners in the way.
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore he pointeth out to sinners the right way.
9 He causes the humble to tread in judgment, And teaches the humble His way.
He guideth the meek in justice, and he teacheth the meek 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 kindness 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 the sake of thy name, O Lord, pardon my iniquity: although it is great.
12 Who [is] this—the man fearing YHWH? He directs him in the way He chooses.
Who is that man that feareth the Lord? to him will he point out the way which he is to choose?
13 His soul remains in good, And his seed possesses the land.
His soul shall abide in happiness: 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 secret counsel of the Lord is for those that fear him, and his covenant—to make it known to them.
15 My eyes [are] continually to YHWH, For He brings my feet out from a net.
My eyes are ever [directed] toward the Lord; for he will draw out of the net my feet.
16 Turn to me, and favor me, For I [am] lonely and afflicted.
Turn 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 distresses of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my afflictions.
18 See my affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
Look on my misery and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
19 See my enemies, for they have been many, And they have hated me with violent hatred.
Look at my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with the hatred of violence.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me, Do not let me be ashamed, for I trusted in You.
Oh, guard my soul; and deliver me: let me not be put to shame; for I put my trust in thee.
21 Integrity and uprightness keep me, For I have waited [on] You.
Let integrity and uprightness guard me; for I wait on thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
Redeem, O God, Israel out of all his distresses.
