Tehillim 25 - Chapter 25 - Psalm 25

Ledavid, elêcha Adonai nafshi essá
Elohai bechá vatachti al evôsha, al iaaltsu oievai li
Gam col covêcha lo ievôshu, ievôshu haboguedim recam
Derachêcha Adonai hodiêni, orechotêcha lamedêni
Hadrichêni vaamitêcha, velamedêni ki ata Elohê yish’i, otechá kiviti col haiom
Zechor rachamêcha Adonai vachassadêcha, ki meolam hêma
Chatot neurai ufshaai al tizcor, kechasdechá zechor li áta, lemáan tuvechá Adonai
Tov veiashar Adonai, al ken iore chataim badárech
Iadrech anavim bamishpat, vilamed anavim darco
Col orchot Adonai chéssed veemet, lenotserê verito veedotav
Lemáan shimchá Adonai, vessalachta laavoni ki rav hu
Mi ze haish iere Adonai, iorênu bedérech yivchar
Nafsho betov talin, vezar’o yirash árets
Sod Adonai lireav, uverito lehodiam
Enai tamid el Adonai, ki hu iotsi meréshet raglai
Pene elai vechonêni, ki iachid veani áni
Tsarot levavi hirchívu, mimetsucotai hotsiêni
Ree onyi veamali, vessa lechol chatotai
Ree oievai ki rábu, vessin’at chamas seneuni
Shomra nafshi vehatsilêni, al evosh ki chassíti vach
Tom vaiósher yitserúni, ki kivitícha
Pede Elohim et Yisrael micol tsarotav

1. A Psalm of David. To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
2. O my God, I trust in you; let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me.
3. Also, let none who waits on you be ashamed; let those who transgress without cause be ashamed.
4. Make me know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.
5. Lead me in your truth, and teach me; for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day.
6. Remember, O Lord, your compassion and your loving kindness; for they have been from of old.
7. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to your loving kindness remember me for your goodness’ sake, O Lord.
8. Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
9. He guides the humble in judgment; and he teaches the humble his way.
10. All the paths of the Lord are loving kindness and truth to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11. For your name’s sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity; for it is great.
12. Who is the man who fears the Lord? Him shall he teach in the way that he should choose.
13. His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14. The counsel of the Lord is with those who fear him; and he will reveal to them his covenant.
15. My eyes are always toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16. Turn to me, and be gracious to me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring me out of my distresses!
18. Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19. Consider my enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with a cruel hatred.
20. O keep my soul, and save me; let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in you.
21. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.
22. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
