Psalm 25
Names of God Bible

Psalm 25[a]

By David.

1 To you, O Yahweh, I lift my soul.
2 I trust you, O my Elohim.
    Do not let me be put to shame.
    Do not let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one who waits for you will ever be put to shame,
    but all who are unfaithful will be put to shame.
4 Make your ways known to me, O Yahweh,
    and teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth and teach me
    because you are Elohim, my savior.
        I wait all day long for you.
6 Remember, O Yahweh, your compassionate and merciful deeds.
    They have existed from eternity.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my rebellious ways.
    Remember me, O Yahweh, in keeping with your mercy and your goodness.

8 Yahweh is good and decent.
    That is why he teaches sinners the way they should live.
9 He leads humble people to do what is right,
    and he teaches them his way.
10 Every path of Yahweh is one of mercy and truth
    for those who cling to his promise[b] and written instructions.

11 For the sake of your name, O Yahweh,
    remove my guilt, because it is great.
12 Who, then, is this person that fears Yahweh?
    He is the one whom Yahweh will teach which path to choose.
13 He will enjoy good things in life,
    and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 Yahweh advises those who fear him.
    He reveals to them the intent of his promise.

15 My eyes are always on Yahweh.
    He removes my feet from traps.
16 Turn to me, and have pity on me.
    I am lonely and oppressed.
17 Relieve my troubled heart,
    and bring me out of my distress.
18 Look at my misery and suffering,
    and forgive all my sins.
19 See how my enemies have increased in number,
    how they have hated me with vicious hatred!
20 Protect my life, and rescue me!
    Do not let me be put to shame.
    I have taken refuge in you.
21 Integrity and honesty will protect me because I wait for you.
22 Rescue Israel, O Elohim, from all its troubles!

Psalm 25[a]

Of David.

1 In you, Lord my God,
    I put my trust.(A)

2 I trust in you;(B)
    do not let me be put to shame,
    nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one who hopes in you
    will ever be put to shame,(C)
but shame will come on those
    who are treacherous(D) without cause.

4 Show me your ways, Lord,
    teach me your paths.(E)
5 Guide me in your truth(F) and teach me,
    for you are God my Savior,(G)

6 Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,(I)
    for they are from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth(J)
    and my rebellious ways;(K)
according to your love(L) remember me,
    for you, Lord, are good.(M)

8 Good and upright(N) is the Lord;
    therefore he instructs(O) sinners in his ways.
9 He guides(P) the humble in what is right
    and teaches them(Q) his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful(R)
    toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.(S)
11 For the sake of your name,(T) Lord,
    forgive(U) my iniquity,(V) though it is great.

12 Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?(W)
    He will instruct them in the ways(X) they should choose.[b]
13 They will spend their days in prosperity,(Y)
    and their descendants will inherit the land.(Z)
14 The Lord confides(AA) in those who fear him;
    he makes his covenant known(AB) to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the Lord,(AC)
    for only he will release my feet from the snare.(AD)

16 Turn to me(AE) and be gracious to me,(AF)
    for I am lonely(AG) and afflicted.
17 Relieve the troubles(AH) of my heart
    and free me from my anguish.(AI)
18 Look on my affliction(AJ) and my distress(AK)
    and take away all my sins.(AL)
19 See how numerous are my enemies(AM)
    and how fiercely they hate me!(AN)

20 Guard my life(AO) and rescue me;(AP)
    do not let me be put to shame,(AQ)
    for I take refuge(AR) in you.
21 May integrity(AS) and uprightness(AT) protect me,
    because my hope, Lord,[c] is in you.(AU)

22 Deliver Israel,(AV) O God,
    from all their troubles!

Psalm 25
Complete Jewish Bible

25 (0) By David:

(1) I lift my inner being to you, Adonai;
2 I trust you, my God.
Don’t let me be disgraced,
don’t let my enemies gloat over me.
3 No one waiting for you will be disgraced;
disgrace awaits those who break faith for no reason.

4 Make me know your ways, Adonai,
teach me your paths.
5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me;
for you are the God who saves me,
my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember your compassion and grace, Adonai;
for these are ages old.
7 Don’t remember my youthful sins or transgressions;
but remember me according to your grace
for the sake of your goodness, Adonai.

8 Adonai is good, and he is fair;
this is why he teaches sinners the way [to live],
9 leads the humble to do what is right
and teaches the humble [to live] his way.
10 All Adonai’s paths are grace and truth
to those who keep his covenant and instructions.
11 For the sake of your name, Adonai,
forgive my wickedness, great though it is.

12 Who is the person who fears Adonai?
He will teach him the way to choose.
13 He will remain prosperous,
and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 Adonai relates intimately with those who fear him;
he makes them know his covenant.

15 My eyes are always directed toward Adonai,
for he will free my feet from the net.
16 Turn to me, and show me your favor;
for I am alone and oppressed.
17 The troubles of my heart are growing and growing;
bring me out of my distress.
18 See my affliction and suffering,
and take all my sins away.

19 Consider my enemies, how many there are
and how cruelly they hate me.
20 Protect me and rescue me;
don’t let me be disgraced,
for I take refuge in you.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
because my hope is in you.

22 God! Redeem Isra’el
from all their troubles!
