Psalms 25
|
| [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul. | Of David. To you, O Lord, my soul is lifted up. |
| O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me. | O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me. |
| Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause. | Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause. |
| Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths. | Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways. |
| Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day. | Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day. |
| Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindness; For they have been ever of old. | O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times. |
| Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, For thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah. | Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness. |
| Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way. | Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way. |
| The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way. | He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them. |
| All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. | All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness. |
| For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great. | Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great. |
| What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose. | If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure. |
| His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land. | His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage. |
| The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant. | The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them. |
| Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net. | My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net. |
| Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted. | Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper. |
| The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses. | The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows. |
| Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins. | Give thought to my grief and my pain; and take away all my sins. |
| Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. | See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me. |
| Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee. | O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you. |
| Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee. | For my clean and upright ways keep me safe, because my hope is in you. |
| Redeem Israel, O God, Out all of his troubles. | Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles. |
