| Chapter 25 |
1 |
By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up. --
|
2 |
My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me. --
|
3 |
Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed. --
|
4 |
Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me. --
|
5 |
Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou [art] the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day. --
|
6 |
Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age [are] they. --
|
7 |
Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah. --
|
8 |
Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way. --
|
9 |
He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way. --
|
10 |
All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies. --
|
11 |
For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it [is] great. --
|
12 |
Who [is] this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose. --
|
13 |
His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land. --
|
14 |
The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know. --
|
15 |
Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet. --
|
16 |
Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted [am] I. --
|
17 |
The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out. --
|
18 |
See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins. --
|
19 |
See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me. --
|
20 |
Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee. --
|
21 |
Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited [on] Thee. --
|
22 |
Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses! --
