Psalms 25
1 A psalm of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my heart: all the day I wait for you.
David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.] Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:
2 In you I trust, put me not to shame; let not my foes exult over me.
O my God, in thee, have I put my trust, Let me not be put to shame, Let not my foe exult over me:
3 None will be shamed who wait for you, but shame will fall upon wanton traitors.
Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!
4 Make me, O Lord, to know your ways: teach me your paths.
Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:
5 In your faithfulness guide me and teach me, for you are my God and my savior.
Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited all the day:
6 Remember your pity, O Lord, and your kindness, for they have been ever of old.
Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age-past times, have they been.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth; remember me in kindness, because of your goodness, Lord.
The sins of my youth, and my transgressions, do not thou call to mind, —According to thine own lovingkindness, remember thou me, for the sake of thine own goodness, O Yahweh.
8 Good is the Lord and upright, so he teaches sinners the way.
Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.
9 The humble he guides in the right, he teaches the humble his way.
May he guide patient wronged-ones to be righted, and teach such oppressed-ones his way.
10 All his ways are loving and loyal to those who observe his charges and covenant.
All the paths of Yahweh, are lovingkindness and faithfulness, to such as keep his covenant, and his testimonies.
11 Be true to your name Lord, forgive my many sins.
For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity, for great it is.
12 Who then is the person who fears the Lord? He will teach them the way to choose.
Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.
13 They will live in prosperity, their children will inherit the land.
His soul, with prosperity, shall tarry, and, his seed, shall possess the land.
14 The Lord gives guidance to those who fear him, and with his covenant he makes them acquainted.
Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.
15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for out of the net he brings my foot.
Mine eyes, are continually unto Yahweh, —for, he, bringeth, out of the net, my feet.
16 Turn to me with your favor, for I am lonely and crushed
Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, for, alone and oppressed, I am.
17 In my heart are strain and storm; bring me out of my distresses.
The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved, —and, out of my straits, brought me forth.
18 Look on my misery and trouble, and pardon all my sins,
Behold my humiliation and my pain, and take away all my sins.
19 look on my foes oh, so many! And their cruel hatred towards me.
Behold my foes, for they abound, —and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.
20 Deliver me, keep me, and shame not one who takes refuge in you.
Oh keep my soul, and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame, for I have sought refuge in thee.
21 May integrity and innocence preserve me, for I wait for you, O Lord.
Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distresses.
Redeem Israel, O God, —out of all his distresses.
