Psalms 25
1 David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.] Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:
Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 O my God, in thee, have I put my trust, Let me not be put to shame, Let not my foe exult over me:
in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
3 Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!
Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.
4 Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:
Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.
5 Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited all the day:
Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.
6 Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age-past times, have they been.
Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.
7 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.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.
8 Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.
9 May he guide patient wronged-ones to be righted, and teach such oppressed-ones his way.
He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.
10 All the paths of Yahweh, are lovingkindness and faithfulness, to such as keep his covenant, and his testimonies.
All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.
11 For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity, for great it is.
For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.
Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.
13 His soul, with prosperity, shall tarry, and, his seed, shall possess the land.
His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.
The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.
15 Mine eyes, are continually unto Yahweh, —for, he, bringeth, out of the net, my feet.
My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
16 Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, for, alone and oppressed, I am.
Turn to me and be gracious, for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved, —and, out of my straits, brought me forth.
The troubles of my heart increase; free me from my distress.
18 Behold my humiliation and my pain, and take away all my sins.
Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.
19 Behold my foes, for they abound, —and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.
Consider my enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with vicious hatred.
20 Oh keep my soul, and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame, for I have sought refuge in thee.
Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
21 Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.
May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, —out of all his distresses.
Redeem Israel, O God, from all its distress.
