Psalms 25
1 David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.] Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:
A Psalm of David. To you, O Lord, have I lifted 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:
O my God, I have trusted in you: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.
3 Yea let, none who wait for thee, be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!
For none of them that wait on you shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
4 Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:
Show me your ways, O Lord; and 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:
Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my Saviour: and I have waited on you all the day.
6 Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age-past times, have they been.
Remember your compassions, O Lord, and your mercies, for they are from everlasting.
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 sins] of ignorance: remember me according to your mercy, for your goodness' sake, 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 will he instruct sinners in [the] way.
9 May he guide patient wronged-ones to be righted, and teach such oppressed-ones his way.
The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.
10 All the paths of Yahweh, are lovingkindness and faithfulness, to such as keep his covenant, and his testimonies.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity, for great it is.
For your name's sake, O Lord, do you also be merciful to my sin; 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 that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.
13 His soul, with prosperity, shall tarry, and, his seed, shall possess the land.
His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.
The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.
15 Mine eyes, are continually unto Yahweh, —for, he, bringeth, out of the net, my feet.
Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.
16 Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, for, alone and oppressed, I am.
Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.
17 The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved, —and, out of my straits, brought me forth.
The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.
18 Behold my humiliation and my pain, and take away all my sins.
Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
19 Behold my foes, for they abound, —and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.
Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.
20 Oh keep my soul, and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame, for I have sought refuge in thee.
Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in you.
21 Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.
The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for you, O Lord.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, —out of all his distresses.
Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
