< Psalms 25 >

1 By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.
Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
2 My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.
In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
3 Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
4 Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.
Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.
5 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.
Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.
6 Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.
Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
7 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.
The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
8 Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.
The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.
9 He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.
10 All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.
12 Who [is] this — the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.
Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.
13 His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.
His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant — to cause them to know.
The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.
15 Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.
My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.
16 Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.
Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
17 The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.
The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.
18 See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.
19 See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.
Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.
Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.
21 Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.
The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
