Ψαλμοί 25
1 ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ πρὸς σέ κύριε ἦρα τὴν ψυχήν μου ὁ θεός μου
A psalm of David. Lord, I come to worship you.
2 ἐπὶ σοὶ πέποιθα μὴ καταισχυνθείην μηδὲ καταγελασάτωσάν μου οἱ ἐχθροί μου
I trust in you, my God. Don't let me be humiliated, and don't let my enemies triumph over me.
3 καὶ γὰρ πάντες οἱ ὑπομένοντές σε οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῶσιν αἰσχυνθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ ἀνομοῦντες διὰ κενῆς
No one who trusts in you will be humiliated, but humiliation comes to those who are deliberately dishonest.
4 τὰς ὁδούς σου κύριε γνώρισόν μοι καὶ τὰς τρίβους σου δίδαξόν με
Show me your ways, Lord; teach me to follow your paths.
5 ὁδήγησόν με ἐπὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου καὶ δίδαξόν με ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ θεὸς ὁ σωτήρ μου καὶ σὲ ὑπέμεινα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν
Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. All day long I put my trust in you.
6 μνήσθητι τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου κύριε καὶ τὰ ἐλέη σου ὅτι ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνός εἰσιν
Remember, Lord, your compassion and trustworthy love—they are eternal!
7 ἁμαρτίας νεότητός μου καὶ ἀγνοίας μου μὴ μνησθῇς κατὰ τὸ ἔλεός σου μνήσθητί μου σὺ ἕνεκα τῆς χρηστότητός σου κύριε
Please don't remember the sins of my youth when I rebelled against you. Instead, remember me according to your trustworthy love, remember me because of your goodness, Lord.
8 χρηστὸς καὶ εὐθὴς ὁ κύριος διὰ τοῦτο νομοθετήσει ἁμαρτάνοντας ἐν ὁδῷ
The Lord is good and he is right; that is why he shows the way to those who are lost.
9 ὁδηγήσει πραεῖς ἐν κρίσει διδάξει πραεῖς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ
He leads those who are humble in doing what's right, teaching them his way.
10 πᾶσαι αἱ ὁδοὶ κυρίου ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθεια τοῖς ἐκζητοῦσιν τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ
The Lord's paths are those of trustworthy love and truth for those who keep his agreement and do as he says.
11 ἕνεκα τοῦ ὀνόματός σου κύριε καὶ ἱλάσῃ τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ μου πολλὴ γάρ ἐστιν
Lord, because of your nature, forgive my many sins.
12 τίς ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον νομοθετήσει αὐτῷ ἐν ὁδῷ ᾗ ᾑρετίσατο
Who are those who respect the Lord? He will show them the path to choose.
13 ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαθοῖς αὐλισθήσεται καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ κληρονομήσει γῆν
They will continue to be prosperous, and their descendants will inherit the land.
14 κραταίωμα κύριος τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτόν καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτόν καὶ ἡ διαθήκη αὐτοῦ τοῦ δηλῶσαι αὐτοῖς
The Lord is friends with those who respect him, explaining to them his agreement.
15 οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου διὰ παντὸς πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐκσπάσει ἐκ παγίδος τοὺς πόδας μου
I always look to the Lord, for he rescues me when I'm trapped.
16 ἐπίβλεψον ἐπ’ ἐμὲ καὶ ἐλέησόν με ὅτι μονογενὴς καὶ πτωχός εἰμι ἐγώ
Watch over me and be good to me, because I am all alone and suffering.
17 αἱ θλίψεις τῆς καρδίας μου ἐπλατύνθησαν ἐκ τῶν ἀναγκῶν μου ἐξάγαγέ με
My problems get bigger and bigger. Please save me from all I'm going through.
18 ἰδὲ τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου καὶ τὸν κόπον μου καὶ ἄφες πάσας τὰς ἁμαρτίας μου
See all my troubles and trials. Please forgive my sins.
19 ἰδὲ τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ὅτι ἐπληθύνθησαν καὶ μῖσος ἄδικον ἐμίσησάν με
