Psalms 25

1 [By David.] To you, YHWH, do I lift up my soul.

A Psalm of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

2 My God, I have trusted in you. Do not let me be shamed. Do not let my enemies triumph over me.

O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3 Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

4 Show me your ways, YHWH. Teach me your paths.

Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.

5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.

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 YHWH, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.

Remember, O LORD, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; for they have been from of old.

7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness' sake, 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 will instruct sinners in the way.

Good and upright is the LORD; therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.

9 He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.

He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way.

10 All the paths of YHWH are loving kindness and truth to those who keep 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, YHWH, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

For Thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

12 What man is he who fears YHWH? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

What man is he that feareth the LORD? him will He instruct in the way that He should choose.

13 His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the land.

His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land.

14 The friendship of YHWH is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

The counsel of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it.

15 My eyes are ever on YHWH, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net.

16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.

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

17 Relieve me from the distresses of my heart, and bring me out of my distresses.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.

18 Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.

See mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.

Consider how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me.

20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.

O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you, YHWH.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee.

22 Redeem Israel, God, from all of his troubles.

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