Psalms 25

1 By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.

[A Psalm] of David. Unto 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 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 thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

4 Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

Shew me 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 of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

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

Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; 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 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 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 thy 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 feareth 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 shew 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 thee 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 thou 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 thee.

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

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

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

Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
