Psalms, 25
Of David.
א [ʼAʹleph]*1
1 To you, O Jehovah, I raise my very soul.
ב [Behth]
2 O my God,*1 in you have I put my trust; O may I not be ashamed. May my enemies not exult over me.
|
ג [Giʹmel]
3 Also, none of those hoping in you will be ashamed. They will be ashamed who are dealing treacherously without success.
ד [Daʹleth]
4 Make me know your own ways, O Jehovah; Teach me your own paths.
ה [Heʼ]
5 Make me walk in your truth and teach me, For you are my God of salvation.
ו [Waw]*1
In you I have hoped all day long.
ז [Zaʹyin]
6 Remember your mercies, O Jehovah, and your loving-kindnesses,*1 For they are from time indefinite.
|
ח [Chehth]
7 The sins of my youth and my revolts O do not remember. According to your loving-kindness do you yourself remember me, For the sake of your goodness, O Jehovah.
ט [Tehth]
8 Good and upright is Jehovah. That is why he instructs sinners in the way.
י [Yohdh]
9 He will cause the meek ones to walk in [his] judicial decision, And he will teach the meek ones his way.
כ [Kaph]
10 All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and trueness*1 For those observing his covenant*2 and his reminders.
|
ל [Laʹmedh]
11 For your name’s sake, O Jehovah, You must even forgive my error, for it is considerable.
מ [Mem]
12 Who, now, is the man fearful of Jehovah? He will instruct him in the way [that] he will choose.
נ [Nun]
13 His own soul will lodge in goodness itself, And his own offspring*1 will take possession of the earth.
|
ס [Saʹmekh]
14 The intimacy with Jehovah belongs to those fearful of him, Also his covenant, to cause them to know it.
ע [ʽAʹyin]
15 My eyes are constantly toward Jehovah, For he it is that brings my feet out of the net.
פ [Peʼ]
16 Turn your face to me, and show me favor; For I am solitary*1 and afflicted.
|
צ [Tsa·dhehʹ]
17 Distresses of my heart have multiplied; From the stresses upon me O bring me out.
ר [Rehsh]*1
18 See my affliction and my trouble, And pardon all my sins.
19 *1 See how many my enemies have become, And with a violent hatred they have hated me.
|
ש [Shin]
20 Do guard my soul and deliver me. May I not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in you.
ת [Taw]
21 Let integrity and uprightness themselves safeguard me, For I have hoped in you.
22 O God,*1 redeem Israel out of all his distresses.
