< Psalms 25 >
1 By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.
Unto you, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
2 My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.
O my God, I trust in you: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
Yea, let none that wait on you be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.
Show me your ways, O LORD; teach me your 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.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are the God of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day.
6 Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.
Remember, O LORD, your tender mercies and your loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
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.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to your mercy remember you me for your goodness' sake, O LORD.
8 Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.
For your name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 Who [is] this — the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.
What man is he that fears the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant — to cause them to know.
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
15 Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.
Turn you unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring you me out of my distresses.
18 See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19 See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.
Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.
21 Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
