Psalms 25
1 BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] To You, O YHWH, I lift up my soul.
A Psalm of David. To 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, I trust in thee: 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, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress 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.
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, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever 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 will he teach 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 the LORD are mercy and truth to 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 my 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 shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul remains in good, And his seed possesses the land.
His soul shall dwell at ease; 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 the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
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 shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn to me, and favor me, For I [am] lonely and afflicted.
Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate 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.
Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19 See my enemies, for they have been many, And they have hated me with violent hatred.
Consider my 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.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my 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.
