Psalm 25

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

² My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

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

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

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.

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

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.

⁸ Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

⁹ He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.

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

¹¹ For Thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great.

¹² Who [is] this — the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

¹³ His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.

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

¹⁵ Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.

¹⁶ Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I.

¹⁷ The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.

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

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

²⁰ Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.

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

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