תְהִלִּים 25

1 לְדָוִ֡ד אֵלֶ֥יךָ יְ֝הוָ֗ה נַפְשִׁ֥י אֶשָּֽׂא׃

A Psalm of David. To you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

2 אֱ‍ֽלֹהַ֗י בְּךָ֣ בָ֭טַחְתִּי אַל־אֵבֹ֑ושָׁה אַל־יַֽעַלְצ֖וּ אֹיְבַ֣י לִֽי׃

O my God, I have trusted in you: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.

3 גַּ֣ם כָּל־קֹ֭וֶיךָ לֹ֣א יֵבֹ֑שׁוּ יֵ֝בֹ֗שׁוּ הַבֹּוגְדִ֥ים רֵיקָֽם׃

For none of them that wait on you shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.

4 דְּרָכֶ֣יךָ יְ֭הוָה הֹודִיעֵ֑נִי אֹ֖רְחֹותֶ֣יךָ לַמְּדֵֽנִי׃

Show me your ways, O Lord; and teach me your paths.

5 הַדְרִ֘יכֵ֤נִי בַאֲמִתֶּ֨ךָ ׀ וְֽלַמְּדֵ֗נִי כִּֽי־אַ֭תָּה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעִ֑י אֹותְךָ֥ קִ֝וִּ֗יתִי כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃

Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my Saviour: and I have waited on you all the day.

6 זְכֹר־רַחֲמֶ֣יךָ יְ֭הוָה וַחֲסָדֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י מֵעֹולָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה׃

Remember your compassions, O Lord, and your mercies, for they are from everlasting.

7 חַטֹּ֤אות נְעוּרַ֨י ׀ וּפְשָׁעַ֗י אַל־תִּ֫זְכֹּ֥ר כְּחַסְדְּךָ֥ זְכָר־לִי־אַ֑תָּה לְמַ֖עַן טוּבְךָ֣ יְהוָֽה׃

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to your mercy, for your goodness' sake, O Lord.

8 טֹוב־וְיָשָׁ֥ר יְהוָ֑ה עַל־כֵּ֤ן יֹורֶ֖ה חַטָּאִ֣ים בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃

Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.

9 יַדְרֵ֣ךְ עֲ֭נָוִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּ֑ט וִֽילַמֵּ֖ד עֲנָוִ֣ים דַּרְכֹּֽו׃

The meek will he guide in judgement: the meek will he teach his ways.

10 כָּל־אָרְחֹ֣ות יְ֭הוָה חֶ֣סֶד וֶאֱמֶ֑ת לְנֹצְרֵ֥י בְ֝רִיתֹ֗ו וְעֵדֹתָֽיו׃

All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.

11 לְמַֽעַן־שִׁמְךָ֥ יְהוָ֑ה וְֽסָלַחְתָּ֥ לַ֝עֲוֹנִ֗י כִּ֣י רַב־הֽוּא׃

For your name's sake, O Lord, do you also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.

12 מִי־זֶ֣ה הָ֭אִישׁ יְרֵ֣א יְהוָ֑ה יֹ֝ורֶ֗נּוּ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יִבְחָֽר׃

Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.

13 נַ֭פְשֹׁו בְּטֹ֣וב תָּלִ֑ין וְ֝זַרְעֹ֗ו יִ֣ירַשׁ אָֽרֶץ׃

His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 סֹ֣וד יְ֭הוָה לִירֵאָ֑יו וּ֝בְרִיתֹ֗ו לְהֹודִיעָֽם׃

The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.

15 עֵינַ֣י תָּ֭מִיד אֶל־יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֤י הֽוּא־יֹוצִ֖יא מֵרֶ֣שֶׁת רַגְלָֽי׃

Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.

16 פְּנֵה־אֵלַ֥י וְחָנֵּ֑נִי כִּֽי־יָחִ֖יד וְעָנִ֣י אָֽנִי׃

Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.

17 צָרֹ֣ות לְבָבִ֣י הִרְחִ֑יבוּ מִ֝מְּצֽוּקֹותַ֗י הֹוצִיאֵֽנִי׃

The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.

18 רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִי וַעֲמָלִ֑י וְ֝שָׂ֗א לְכָל־חַטֹּאותָֽי׃

Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.

19 רְאֵֽה־אֹויְבַ֥י כִּי־רָ֑בּוּ וְשִׂנְאַ֖ת חָמָ֣ס שְׂנֵאֽוּנִי׃

Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.

20 שָׁמְרָ֣ה נַ֭פְשִׁי וְהַצִּילֵ֑נִי אַל־אֵ֝בֹ֗ושׁ כִּֽי־חָסִ֥יתִי בָֽךְ׃

Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in you.

21 תֹּם־וָיֹ֥שֶׁר יִצְּר֑וּנִי כִּ֝֗י קִוִּיתִֽיךָ׃

The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for you, O Lord.

22 פְּדֵ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מִ֝כֹּ֗ל צָֽרֹותָיו׃

Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
