Psalms 25
1 A psalm of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my heart: all the day I wait for you.
[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
2 In you I trust, put me not to shame; let not my foes exult over me.
My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 None will be shamed who wait for you, but shame will fall upon wanton traitors.
Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.
4 Make me, O Lord, to know your ways: teach me your paths.
Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths.
5 In your faithfulness guide me and teach me, for you are my God and my savior.
Make me to walk 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 pity, O Lord, and your kindness, for they have been ever of old.
Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth; remember me in kindness, because of your goodness, Lord.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, Jehovah.
8 Good is the Lord and upright, so he teaches sinners the way.
Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way:
9 The humble he guides in the right, he teaches the humble his way.
The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All his ways are loving and loyal to those who observe his charges and covenant.
All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Be true to your name Lord, forgive my many sins.
For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 Who then is the person who fears the Lord? He will teach them the way to choose.
What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way [that] he should choose.
13 They will live in prosperity, their children will inherit the land.
His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The Lord gives guidance to those who fear him, and with his covenant he makes them acquainted.
The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for out of the net he brings my foot.
Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net.
16 Turn to me with your favor, for I am lonely and crushed
Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
17 In my heart are strain and storm; bring me out of my distresses.
The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses;
18 Look on my misery and trouble, and pardon all my sins,
Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
19 look on my foes oh, so many! And their cruel hatred towards me.
Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me [with] cruel hatred.
20 Deliver me, keep me, and shame not one who takes refuge in you.
Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee.
21 May integrity and innocence preserve me, for I wait for you, O Lord.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distresses.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
