Psalms 25
1 Yahweh, my God, I give myself to you.
| לדוד אליך יהוה נפשי אשא |
2 I trust in you. Do not allow my enemies [to defeat me], with the result that I would be ashamed/disgraced. Do not allow my enemies to defeat/conquer me, with the result that they would rejoice.
| אלהי--בך בטחתי אל-אבושה אל-יעלצו אויבי לי |
3 Do not allow any of those who trust in you to be disappointed/disgraced. Cause those who (act treacherously toward/try to deceive) others to be disappointed/disgraced.

6 Yahweh, do not forget how you have acted mercifully to me and have faithfully loved me; that is the way that you have acted toward me from long ago.
| זכר-רחמיך יהוה וחסדיך כי מעולם המה |
7 Forgive me for all the sinful things I did and the ways that I rebelled against you when I was young; I ask this because you faithfully love your people and do good things for them, Yahweh, do not forget me!
