Psalms 25
PSAL. XXV.
A Psalm of David.
1Unto thee, O Yhwh, do I lift up my soul. 2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. 3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. 4Shew me thy ways, O Yhwh; teach me thy paths. 5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 6Remember, O Yhwh, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. ▼▼ tender…: Heb. bowels.
7Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Yhwh. 8Good and upright is Yhwh: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10All the paths of Yhwh are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 11For thy name’s sake, O Yhwh, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. 12What man is he that feareth Yhwh? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. 13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. ▼▼ dwell…: Heb. lodge in goodness.
14The secret of Yhwh is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. ▼▼ and…: or, and his covenant to make them know it.
15Mine eyes are ever toward Yhwh; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. ▼▼ pluck: Heb. bring forth.
16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. 17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. 18Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 19Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. ▼▼ cruel…: Heb. hatred of violence.
20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. 21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. 22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
