Psalms 25

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

By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.

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

My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

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

Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

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

Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

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

Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou [art] the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

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

Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.

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

Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

8 Good and upright is YHWH, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

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

He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And 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 Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping 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 Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned 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.

Who [is] this — the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

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

His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.

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

The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant — to cause them to know.

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

Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.

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

Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.

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

The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.

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

See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

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

See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.

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

Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.

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

Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.

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

Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
