Psalm 25

By David.

 25:1To you, Yahweh, do I lift up my soul.

 25:2My God, in you have I trusted,
      Let me not be put to shame.
      Don't let my enemies triumph over me.

 25:3Yes, no one who waits for you shall be put to shame.
      They shall be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.

  25:4Show me your ways, Yahweh.
      Teach me your paths.

 25:5Guide me in your truth, and teach me,
      For you are the God of my salvation,
      I wait for you all day long.

 25:6Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your lovingkindness,
      For they are from old times.

 25:7Don't remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.
      Remember me according to your lovingkindness,
      For your goodness' sake, Yahweh.

 25:8Good and upright is Yahweh,
      Therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

 25:9He will guide the humble in justice.
      He will teach the humble his way.

 25:10All the paths of Yahweh are lovingkindness and truth
      To such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

 25:11For your name's sake, Yahweh,
      Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.

 25:12What man is he who fears Yahweh?
      He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

 25:13His soul shall dwell at ease.
      His seed shall inherit the land.

 25:14The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him.
      He will show them his covenant.

  25:15My eyes are ever on Yahweh,
      For he will pluck my feet out of the net.

 25:16Turn to me, and have mercy on me,
      For I am desolate and afflicted.

 25:17The troubles of my heart are enlarged.
      Oh bring me out of my distresses.

 25:18Consider my affliction and my travail.
      Forgive all my sins.

 25:19Consider my enemies, for they are many.
      They hate me with cruel hatred.

 25:20Oh keep my soul, and deliver me.
      Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

 25:21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
      For I wait for you.

 25:22Redeem Israel, God,
      Out all of his troubles.
