Psalms 25

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

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

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

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

⁵Cause 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.

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

⁷Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

⁸Good and upright `is' Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

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

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

¹¹For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it `is' great.

¹²Who `is' this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

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

¹⁴The secret of Jehovah `is' for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know.

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

¹⁶Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted `am' I.

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

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

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

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

²¹Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited `on' Thee.

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