תהילים כ״הPsalms 25
Of David.
א O ETERNAL One, I set my hope on You;
ב my God, in You I trust;
may I not be disappointed,
may my enemies not exult over me.
ג O let no one who looks to You be disappointed;
let the faithless be disappointed, empty-handed.
ד Let me know Your paths, O ETERNAL One;
teach me Your ways;
ה ו guide me in Your true way and teach me,
for You are God, my deliverer;
it is You I look to at all times.
ז O ETERNAL One, be mindful of Your compassion
and Your faithfulness;
they are old as time.
ח Be not mindful of my youthful sins and transgressions;
in keeping with Your faithfulness consider what is in my favor,
as befits Your goodness, O ETERNAL One.
ט Good and upright is GOD,
who shows sinners the way.
י [God] guides the lowly in the right path,
and teaches the lowly the godly way.
כ All GOD’s paths are steadfast love
for those who keep the decrees of the covenant.
ל As befits Your name, O ETERNAL One,
pardon my iniquity though it be great.
מ Whoever fears GOD
will be shown what path to choose.
נ They shall live a happy life,
and their children shall inherit the land.
ס GOD’s counsel is for those who show reverence;
to them the covenant is made known.
ע My eyes are ever toward GOD,
who will loose my feet from the net.
פ Turn to me, have mercy on me,
for I am alone and afflicted.
צ My deep distress increases;
deliver me from my straits.
ר Look at my affliction and suffering,
and forgive all my sins.
See how numerous my enemies are,
and how unjustly they hate me!
ש Protect me and save me;
let me not be disappointed,
for I have sought refuge in You.
ת May integrity and uprightness watch over me,
for I look to You.
O God, redeem Israel
from all its distress.
