Psalm 25 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ To You, O יהוה, I lift up my being.

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

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

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

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

⁶ Remember, O יהוה, Your compassion and Your kindnesses, For they are from everlasting.

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

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

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

¹⁰ All the paths of יהוה  are kindness and truth, To those who guard His covenant and His witnesses.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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