Psalms 25

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

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

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

My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine 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 Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

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

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

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

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

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

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 Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

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

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

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

He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth 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 Jehovah [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 Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine 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 Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

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

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

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

The secret of Jehovah [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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

See mine 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 with violent hatred they have hated me.

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, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.

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

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

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

Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
