Psalms 25
1 David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.] Unto thee, O Yahweh, my soul, would I lift:
By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.
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, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine 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!
Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
4 Thy ways, O Yahweh, let me know, Thy paths, teach thou me:
Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.
5 Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited 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 thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age-past times, have they been.
Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.
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.
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 Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.
Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.
9 May he guide patient wronged-ones to be righted, and teach such oppressed-ones his way.
He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth 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 paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping 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 Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine 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] this — the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.
13 His soul, with prosperity, shall tarry, and, his seed, shall possess the land.
His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.
14 Intimacy with Yahweh, have they who revere him, His covenant also, he letteth them know.
The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant — to cause them to know.
15 Mine eyes, are continually unto Yahweh, —for, he, bringeth, out of the net, my feet.
Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.
16 Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, for, alone and oppressed, I am.
Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.
17 The distresses of my heart, hath he relieved, —and, out of my straits, brought me forth.
The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.
18 Behold my humiliation and my pain, and take away all my sins.
See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
19 Behold my foes, for they abound, —and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.
See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.
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 trusted in Thee.
21 Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.
Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, —out of all his distresses.
Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
