Psalm 25 - The Scriptures 2009

¹ Aleph To You, O יהוה, I lift up my being.

² Bĕt O my Elohim, in You I have put my trust; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies exult over me.

³ Gimel Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those who are treacherous without cause be ashamed.

⁴ Dalet Show me Your ways, O יהוה; Teach me Your paths.

⁵ Hĕ Lead me in Your truth (Waw) and teach me, For You are the Elohim of my deliverance; On You I wait all the day.

⁶ Zayin Remember, O יהוה, Your compassion and Your loving-commitments, For they are from everlasting.

⁷ Ḥet Do not remember the sins of my youth, and my transgressions; According to Your loving-commitment remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O יהוה.

⁸ Tet Good and straight is יהוה; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.

⁹ Yod He guides the meek ones in right-ruling, And He teaches the meek ones His way.

¹⁰ Kaph All the paths of יהוה are loving-commitment and truth, To those who guard His covenant and His witnesses.

¹¹ Lamed For Your Name’s sake, O יהוה, You shall pardon my crookedness, though it is great.

¹² Mem Who, then, is the man that fears יהוה? He teaches him in the way he should choose.

¹³ Nun His life dwells in good, And his seed inherits the earth.

¹⁴ Sameḵ The secret of יהוה is with those who fear Him, And He makes His covenant known to them.

¹⁵ Ayin My eyes are ever toward יהוה, For He brings my feet out of the net.

¹⁶ Pĕ Turn Your face to me, and show me favour, For I am lonely and afflicted.

¹⁷ Tsadi The distresses of my heart have enlarged; Oh, bring me out of my distresses!

¹⁸ Rĕsh Look on my affliction and my toil, And forgive all my sins.

¹⁹ Rĕsh See how many my enemies have become; And they hate me with a violent hatred.

²⁰ Shin Oh, guard my life, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in You.

²¹ Taw Let integrity and straightness guard me, For I have waited for You.

²² Redeem Yisra’ĕl, O Elohim, Out of all his distresses!
