< Psalms 25 >
1 David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.] Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:
A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, lift I vp my soule.
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:
My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee.
3 Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!
So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgresse without cause.
4 Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:
Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths.
5 Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited all the day:
Leade me foorth in thy trueth, and teache me: for thou art the God of my saluation: in thee doe I trust all the day.
6 Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age-past times, have they been.
Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer.
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 sinnes of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindenesse remember thou me, euen for thy goodnesse sake, O Lord.
8 Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.
Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way.
9 May he guide patient wronged-ones to be righted, and teach such oppressed-ones his way.
Them that be meeke, will hee guide in iudgement, and teach the humble his way.
10 All the paths of Yahweh, are lovingkindness and faithfulness, to such as keep his covenant, and his testimonies.
All the pathes of the Lord are mercie and trueth vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies.
11 For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity, for great it is.
For thy Names sake, O Lord, be merciful vnto mine iniquitie, for it is great.
12 Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.
What man is he that feareth the Lord? him wil he teache the way that hee shall chuse.
13 His soul, with prosperity, shall tarry, and, his seed, shall possess the land.
His soule shall dwell at ease, and his seede shall inherite the land.
14 Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.
The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding.
15 Mine eyes, are continually unto Yahweh, —for, he, bringeth, out of the net, my feet.
Mine eyes are euer towarde the Lord: for he will bring my feete out of the net.
16 Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, for, alone and oppressed, I am.
Turne thy face vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon me: for I am desolate and poore.
17 The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved, —and, out of my straits, brought me forth.
The sorowes of mine heart are enlarged: drawe me out of my troubles.
18 Behold my humiliation and my pain, and take away all my sins.
Looke vpon mine affliction and my trauel, and forgiue all my sinnes.
19 Behold my foes, for they abound, —and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.
Beholde mine enemies, for they are manie, and they hate me with cruell hatred.
20 Oh keep my soul, and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame, for I have sought refuge in thee.
Keepe my soule, and deliuer me: let me not be confounded, for I trust in thee.
21 Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.
Let mine vprightnes and equitie preserue me: for mine hope is in thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, —out of all his distresses.
Deliuer Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
