Psalms 25
1 By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.
“A psalm of David.” To thee, 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 thee; let me not be put to shame! Let not my enemies triumph over me!
3 Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.
Yea, none that hope in thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame who wickedly forsake thee.
4 Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.
Cause me to know thy ways, O LORD! 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.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me! For thou art the God from whom cometh my help; In thee do I trust at all times!
6 Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they.
Remember thy loving-kindness, O LORD! and thy tender mercy, Which thou hast exercised 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 faults and transgressions of my youth! 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.
Good and righteous is the LORD; Therefore showeth he to sinners the way.
9 He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
The humble he guideth in his statutes, And the humble he teacheth his way.
10 All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.
All the doings of the LORD are mercy and truth To those who keep his covenant and his precepts.
11 For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.
For thy name's sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity; 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? Him doth he show the way which he should choose.
13 His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.
He shall himself dwell in prosperity, And his offspring shall inherit the land.
14 The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant — to cause them to know.
The friendship of the LORD is with them that fear him, And he will teach them his covenant.
15 Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.
Mine eyes are ever directed to the LORD, For he will pluck my feet from the net.
16 Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.
Look upon me, and pity me; For I am desolate and afflicted!
17 The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.
Lighten the sorrows of my heart, And deliver me from my troubles!
18 See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.
Look upon my affliction and distress, And forgive all my sins!
19 See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.
Consider how many are my enemies, And with what violence they hate me!
20 Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.
Guard thou my life, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I have trusted in thee!
21 Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For on thee do I rest my hope!
22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
Redeem Israel, O God! from all his troubles!
