תהילים כה

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.
