Psalms 25

ledavid elekha Adonai nafshi essa

Of David. א O ETERNAL One, I set my hope on You;

elohay bekha vatakhti al-evoshah al-ya'altsu oyevay li

ב my God, in You I trust; may I not be disappointed, may my enemies not exult over me.

gam kol-qovekha lo yevoshu yevoshu habbogedim reqam

ג O let no one who looks to You be disappointed; let the faithless be disappointed, empty-handed.

derakhekha Adonai hodi'eni orekhotekha lammedeni

ד Let me know Your paths, O ETERNAL One; teach me Your ways;

hadrikheni va'amittekha velammedeni ki-attah elohe yishi otekha qivviti kol-hayyom

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.

zekhor-rakhamekha Adonai vakhasadekha ki me'olam hemmah

ז O ETERNAL One, be mindful of Your compassion and Your faithfulness; they are old as time.

khattovt ne'uray ufesha'ay al-tizkor kekhasdekha zekhor-li-attah lema'an tuvekha Adonai

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.

tov-veyashar Adonai al-ken yoreh khatta'im baddarekh

ט Good and upright is GOD, who shows sinners the way.

yadrekh anavim bammishpat vilammed anavim darko

י [God] guides the lowly in the right path, and teaches the lowly the godly way.

kol-orkhot Adonai khesed ve'emet lenotsere verito ve'edotayw

כ All GOD’s paths are steadfast love for those who keep the decrees of the covenant.

lema'an-shimkha Adonai vesalakhta la'avoni ki rav-hu

ל As befits Your name, O ETERNAL One, pardon my iniquity though it be great.

mi-zeh ha'ish yere Adonai yorennu bederekh yivkhar

מ Whoever fears GOD will be shown what path to choose.

nafsho betov talin vezaro yirash arets

נ They shall live a happy life, and their children shall inherit the land.

sod Adonai lire'ayw uverito lehodi'am

ס GOD’s counsel is for those who show reverence; to them the covenant is made known.

enay tamid el-Adonai ki hu-yotsi mereshet raglay

ע My eyes are ever toward GOD, who will loose my feet from the net.

peneh-elay vekhonneni ki-yakhid ve'ani ani

פ Turn to me, have mercy on me, for I am alone and afflicted.

tsarot levavi hirkhivu mimmetsuqotay hotsi'eni

צ My deep distress increases; deliver me from my straits.

re'eh onyi va'amali vesa lekhol-khattovtay

ר Look at my affliction and suffering, and forgive all my sins.

re'eh-oyevay ki-rabbu vesinat khamas sene'uni

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.

tom-vayosher yitseruni ki qivvitikha

ת May integrity and uprightness watch over me, for I look to You.

pedeh elohim et-yisra'el mikkol tsarotayw

O God, redeem Israel from all its distress.
