< Psalms 25 >

1 [By David.] To you, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
לְדָוִ֡ד אֵלֶ֥יךָ יְ֝הוָ֗ה נַפְשִׁ֥י אֶשָּֽׂא׃
2 My God, I have trusted in you. Do not let me be shamed. Do not let my enemies triumph over me.
אֱ‍ֽלֹהַ֗י בְּךָ֣ בָ֭טַחְתִּי אַל־אֵבֹ֑ושָׁה אַל־יַֽעַלְצ֖וּ אֹיְבַ֣י לִֽי׃
3 Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
גַּ֣ם כָּל־קֹ֭וֶיךָ לֹ֣א יֵבֹ֑שׁוּ יֵ֝בֹ֗שׁוּ הַבֹּוגְדִ֥ים רֵיקָֽם׃
4 Show me your ways, Jehovah. Teach me your paths.
דְּרָכֶ֣יךָ יְ֭הוָה הֹודִיעֵ֑נִי אֹ֖רְחֹותֶ֣יךָ לַמְּדֵֽנִי׃
5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.
הַדְרִ֘יכֵ֤נִי בַאֲמִתֶּ֨ךָ ׀ וְֽלַמְּדֵ֗נִי כִּֽי־אַ֭תָּה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעִ֑י אֹותְךָ֥ קִ֝וִּ֗יתִי כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃
6 Jehovah, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.
זְכֹר־רַחֲמֶ֣יךָ יְ֭הוָה וַחֲסָדֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י מֵעֹולָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה׃
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness' sake, Jehovah.
חַטֹּ֤אות נְעוּרַ֨י ׀ וּפְשָׁעַ֗י אַל־תִּ֫זְכֹּ֥ר כְּחַסְדְּךָ֥ זְכָר־לִי־אַ֑תָּה לְמַ֖עַן טוּבְךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃
8 Good and upright is Jehovah, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
טֹוב־וְיָשָׁ֥ר יְהוָ֑ה עַל־כֵּ֤ן יֹורֶ֖ה חַטָּאִ֣ים בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃
9 He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.
יַדְרֵ֣ךְ עֲ֭נָוִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּ֑ט וִֽילַמֵּ֖ד עֲנָוִ֣ים דַּרְכֹּֽו׃
10 All the paths of Jehovah are loving kindness and truth to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
כָּל־אָרְחֹ֣ות יְ֭הוָה חֶ֣סֶד וֶאֱמֶ֑ת לְנֹצְרֵ֥י בְ֝רִיתֹ֗ו וְעֵדֹתָֽיו׃
11 For your name's sake, Jehovah, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
לְמַֽעַן־שִׁמְךָ֥ יְהוָ֑ה וְֽסָלַחְתָּ֥ לַ֝עֲוֹנִ֗י כִּ֣י רַב־הֽוּא׃
12 What man is he who fears Jehovah? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
מִי־זֶ֣ה הָ֭אִישׁ יְרֵ֣א יְהוָ֑ה יֹ֝ורֶ֗נּוּ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יִבְחָֽר׃
13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the land.
נַ֭פְשֹׁו בְּטֹ֣וב תָּלִ֑ין וְ֝זַרְעֹ֗ו יִ֣ירַשׁ אָֽרֶץ׃
14 The friendship of Jehovah is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.
סֹ֣וד יְ֭הוָה לִירֵאָ֑יו וּ֝בְרִיתֹ֗ו לְהֹודִיעָֽם׃
15 My eyes are ever on Jehovah, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
עֵינַ֣י תָּ֭מִיד אֶל־יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֤י הֽוּא־יֹוצִ֖יא מֵרֶ֣שֶׁת רַגְלָֽי׃
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
פְּנֵה־אֵלַ֥י וְחָנֵּ֑נִי כִּֽי־יָחִ֖יד וְעָנִ֣י אָֽנִי׃
17 Relieve me from the distresses of my heart, and bring me out of my distresses.
צָרֹ֣ות לְבָבִ֣י הִרְחִ֑יבוּ מִ֝מְּצֽוּקֹותַ֗י הֹוצִיאֵֽנִי׃
18 Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.
רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִי וַעֲמָלִ֑י וְ֝שָׂ֗א לְכָל־חַטֹּאותָֽי׃
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.
רְאֵֽה־אֹויְבַ֥י כִּי־רָ֑בּוּ וְשִׂנְאַ֖ת חָמָ֣ס שְׂנֵאֽוּנִי׃
20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
שָׁמְרָ֣ה נַ֭פְשִׁי וְהַצִּילֵ֑נִי אַל־אֵ֝בֹ֗ושׁ כִּֽי־חָסִ֥יתִי בָֽךְ׃
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you, Jehovah.
תֹּם־וָיֹ֥שֶׁר יִצְּר֑וּנִי כִּ֝֗י קִוִּיתִֽיךָ׃
22 Redeem Israel, God, from all of his troubles.
פְּדֵ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מִ֝כֹּ֗ל צָֽרֹותָיו׃
