25:1 [A Psalm] of David. To you, O Yahweh, I lift up my soul.
25:2 O my God, in you I have trusted, Don't let me be put to shame; Don't let my enemies triumph over me.
25:3 Yes, none who wait for you will be put to shame: They will be put to shame who are betrayers without cause.
25:4 Show me your ways, O Yahweh; Teach me your paths.
25:5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me; For you are the God of my salvation; For you I wait all the day.
25:6 Remember, O Yahweh, your tender mercies and your loving-kindness; For they have been ever of old.
25:7 Don't remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to your loving-kindness remember me, For your goodness' sake, O Yahweh.
25:8 Good and upright is Yahweh: Therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
25:9 The meek he will guide in justice; And the meek he will teach his way.
25:10 All the paths of Yahweh are loving-kindness and truth To such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
25:11 For your name's sake, O Yahweh, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
25:12 What man is he who fears Yahweh? He will instruct him in the way that he will choose.
25:13 His soul will dwell at ease; And his seed will inherit the land.
25:14 The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him; And he will show them his covenant.
25:15 My eyes are ever toward Yahweh; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.
25:16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me; For I am desolate and afflicted.
25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring me out of my distresses.
25:18 Consider my affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.
25:19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.
25:20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Don't let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for you.
25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all his troubles.
