Psalms 25

1 BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] To You, O YHWH, I lift up my soul.

2 My God, in You I have trusted, Do not let me be ashamed, Do not let my enemies exult over me.

3 Also let none waiting on You be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

4 Your ways, O YHWH, cause me to know, You teach me Your paths.

5 Cause me to tread in Your truth, and teach me, For You [are] the God of my salvation, Near You I have waited all the day.

6 Remember Your mercies, O YHWH, And Your kindnesses, for they [are] from the age.

7 Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not remember. According to Your kindness be mindful of me, For Your goodness’ sake, O YHWH.

8 Good and upright [is] YHWH, Therefore He directs sinners in the way.

9 He causes the humble to tread in judgment, And teaches the humble His way.

10 All the paths of YHWH [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

11 For Your Name’s sake, O YHWH, You have pardoned my iniquity, for it [is] great.

12 Who [is] this—the man fearing YHWH? He directs him in the way He chooses.

13 His soul remains in good, And his seed possesses the land.

14 The secret of YHWH [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant—to cause them to know.

15 My eyes [are] continually to YHWH, For He brings my feet out from a net.

16 Turn to me, and favor me, For I [am] lonely and afflicted.

17 The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, Bring me out from my distresses.

18 See my affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

19 See my enemies, for they have been many, And they have hated me with violent hatred.

20 Keep my soul, and deliver me, Do not let me be ashamed, for I trusted in You.

21 Integrity and uprightness keep me, For I have waited [on] You.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!
