Psalm 25:1-22
David’s. [An Alphabetical Psalm.]
א
25 Unto thee O Yahweh, my soul would I lift:
ב
2 O my God, in thee have I put my trust, Let me not be put to shame, Let not my foe exult over me:
ג
3 Yea let none who wait for thee be put to shame, Let them be put to shame who act covertly without cause!
ד
4 Thy ways O Yahweh let me know, Thy paths teach thou me:
ה
5 Guide me into thy truth and teach me For thou art my delivering God,
ו
For thee have I waited all the day:
ז
6 Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For from age-past times have they been.
ח
7 The sins of my youth and my transgressions do not thou call to mind,—According to thine own lovingkindness remember thou me, For the sake of thine own goodness, O Yahweh.
ט
8 Good and upright is Yahweh, For this cause will he direct sinners into the way.
י
9 May he guide patient wronged-ones to be righted, And teach such oppressed-ones his way.
כ
10 All the paths of Yahweh are lovingkindness and faithfulness, To such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
ל
11 For the sake of thy Name O Yahweh, Therefore wilt thou pardon mine iniquity For great it is.
מ
12 Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.
נ
13 His soul with prosperity shall tarry, And his seed shall possess the land.
ס
14 Intimacy with Yahweh have they who revere him, His covenant also he letteth them know.
ע
15 Mine eyes are continually unto Yahweh,—For he bringeth out of the net my feet.
פ
16 Turn thou unto me, and shew me favour, For alone and oppressed I am.
צ
17 The distresses of my heart hath he relieved,—And out of my straits brought me forth.
ר
18 Behold my humiliation and my pain, And take away all my sins.
ר
19 Behold my foes for they abound,—And with the hatred of violence do they hate me.
ש
20 Oh keep my soul and rescue me, Let me not be put to shame for I have sought refuge in thee.
ת
21 Let blamelessness and uprightness watch over me, Because I have waited for thee.
22 Redeem Israel, O God,—Out of all his distresses.
