Psalms 25

1 [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] To You, O YHWH, I lift up my soul.

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

My God, in You I have trusted, Do not let me be ashamed, Do not let my enemies exult over me.

3 Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

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

4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

Your ways, O YHWH, cause me to know, You teach me Your paths.

5 Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Cause me to tread in Your truth, and teach me, For You [are] the God of my salvation, Near You I have waited all the day.

6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Remember Your mercies, O YHWH, And Your kindnesses, for they [are] from the age.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not remember. According to Your kindness be mindful of me, For Your goodness’ sake, O YHWH.

8 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.

Good and upright [is] YHWH, Therefore He directs sinners in the way.

9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

He causes the humble to tread in judgment, And teaches the humble His way.

10 All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

All the paths of YHWH [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

11 For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

For Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, You have pardoned my iniquity, for it [is] great.

12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.

Who [is] this—the man fearing YHWH? He directs him in the way He chooses.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the land.

His soul remains in good, And his seed possesses the land.

14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

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

15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

My eyes [are] continually to YHWH, For He brings my feet out from a net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

Turn to me, and favor me, For I [am] lonely and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, Bring me out from my distresses.

18 Consider mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins.

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

19 Consider mine enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

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

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in thee.

Keep my soul, and deliver me, Do not let me be ashamed, for I trusted in You.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait on thee.

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

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

Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
