1 | (Psalm 25 [A Psalm] of David.)Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul. |
2 | O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me. |
3 | Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause. |
4 | Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths. |
5 | Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day. |
6 | Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old. |
7 | Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness` sake, O Jehovah. |
8 | Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way. |
9 | The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way. |
10 | All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. |
11 | For thy name`s sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great. |
12 | What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose. |
13 | His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land. |
14 | The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant. |
15 | Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net. |
16 | Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted. |
17 | The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses. |
18 | Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins. |
19 | Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. |
20 | Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee. |
21 | Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee. |
22 | Redeem Israel, O God, Out all of his troubles. |
