Psalms 25:1-30:12 To David. To thee, O Jehovah, I will lift up my soul.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To David. To thee, O Jehovah, I will lift up my soul. ² My God, in thee I trusted, I shall not be ashamed: mine enemies shall not exult over me. ³ Also all awaiting thee shall not be ashamed: they transgressing emptily shall be ashamed. ⁴ O Jehovah, cause me to know thy ways; teach me thy paths. ⁵ Cause me to tread in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art God saving me; on thee I waited all the day. ⁶ Remember thy compassions, O Jehovah, and thy mercies; for they are from forever. ⁷ The sins of my youth and my transgressions thou wilt not remember: according to thy mercy remember thou for me for sake of thy goodness, O Jehovah. ⁸ Good and upright is Jehovah: for this he will teach the sinning in the way. ⁹ He will cause the humble to trend in judgment, and he will teach the humble the way. ¹⁰ All the paths of Jehovah are mercy and truth to those watching his covenant and his testimonies. ¹¹ For sake of thy name, O Jehovah, and thou forgavest to mine iniquity; for it was much. ¹² Who this man fearing Jehovah? he will teach him in the way he shall choose. ¹³ His soul shall lodge in good, and his seed shall inherit the earth. ¹⁴ The secret of Jehovah to them fearing him; and his covenant he will cause them to know. ¹⁵ Mine eyes are always to Jehovah, for he will bring forth my feet from the net ¹⁶ Turn to me and pity me, for I alone and afflicted. ¹⁷ The straits of my heart were enlarged: bring me out from my distresses. ¹⁸ See mine affliction and my labor, and let go to all my sins. ¹⁹ See mine enemies, for they were many, and they hated me with the hatred of violence. ²⁰ Watch my soul and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I put my trust in thee. ²¹ Integrity and uprightness shall watch me; for I waited for thee. ²² Redeem Israel, O God, from all his straits. ²⁶ ¹ TO David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I went in mine integrity, and in Jehovah I trusted: I shall not waver. ² Prove me, O Jehovah, and try me; refine my reins and my heart ³ For thy mercy is before mine eyes, and I walked about in thy truth. ⁴ I sat not with men of vanity, and I will not go in with those lying hid. ⁵ I hated the convocation of those being evil, and with the unjust I will not sit ⁶ I will wash my hands in cleanness, and I will surround thine altar, O Jehovah: ⁷ To hear with the voice of praise, and to recount all thy wonders. ⁸ O Jehovah, I loved the habitation of thy house, and the place of the dwelling of thine honor. ⁹ Thou wilt not gather my soul with the sinning, and my life with men of bloods: ¹⁰ Which in their hands mischief, and their right hand filled with sifts. ¹¹ And I, I will go in mine integrity: redeem me and pity me. ¹² My foot stood in straightness: in the convocations will I praise Jehovah. ²⁷ ¹ To David. Jehovah my light and my saviour; of whom shall I be afraid? Jehovah the strength of my life; from whom shall I tremble? ² In the drawing near of those doing evil to me, to eat my flesh, adversaries and enemies to me, they were weak and fell ³ If a camp shall encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: if war shall rise up against me, in this I trust ⁴ I asked one from Jehovah, I will seek it; I sat in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to look upon the sweetness of Jehovah, and to inquire in his temple. ⁵ For he will hide me in the booth in the day of evil: he will cover me with the covering of his tent; he will lift me up upon a rock. ⁶ And now he will lift up my head over mine enemies round about me: and I will sacrifice in his tent sacrifices of rejoicing; I will sing and I will play on the harp to Jehovah. ⁷ Hear my voice, O Jehovah: I will call, and pity me and answer me. ⁸ My heart said to thee, Seek .ye my face; thy face, O Jehovah, I will seek. ⁹ Thou wilt not cover thy face from me; thou wilt not turn away thy servant in anger: thou, wert my help; thou wilt not leave me and thou wilt not forsake me, my God saving me. ¹⁰ For my father and my mother forsook me, and Jehovah will gather me. ¹¹ Teach me, O Jehovah, thy way, and lead me in a path of straitness for sake of those pressing me. ¹² Thou wilt not give me to the soul of him pressing me, for witnesses of falsehood rose up against me, and violence will blow. ¹³ Unless I believed to look upon the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living. ¹⁴ Wait for Jehovah: be strong, and thy heart shall be strengthened: and wait for Jehovah. ²⁸ ¹ To David. To thee, O Jehovah, will I call, my rock; thou wilt not be silent from me: lest thou wilt be silent from me and I was made like with them going down to the pit ² Hear the voice of my supplications in my crying to thee, in my lifting up my hands to the oracle of thy holy place. ³ Thou wilt not draw me with the unjust, and with those working vanity, speaking peace with their neighbors, and evil in their heart ⁴ Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their doings, according to the word of their hands; give to them, turn back to them their recompense. ⁵ For they will not understand for the doing of Jehovah, and for the work of his hands; he will destroy them and he will not build them up. ⁶ Praised be Jehovah, for he heard the voice of my supplications ⁷ Jehovah my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusted, and I was helped: and my heart will exult, and from my song will I praise him. ⁸ Jehovah strength to them, and he the fortress of salvations of his Messiah. ⁹ Save thy people and bless thine inheritance, and feed them and lift them up even forever. ²⁹ ¹ Chanting of David. Give to Jehovah, ye sons of God, give to Jehovah glory and strength. ² Give to Jehovah the glory of his name; worship to Jehovah in the splendors of his holy place. ³ The voice of Jehovah upon the waters: the God of glory thundered: Jehovah upon many waters. ⁴ The voice of Jehovah in power; the voice of Jehovah in splendor. ⁵ The voice of Jehovah broke the cedars; and Jehovah will break the cedars of Lebanon. ⁶ And he will cause them to leap as a calf; Lebanon and Sirion as the son of buffaloes. ⁷ The voice of Jehovah cut out the flames of fire. ⁸ The voice of Jehovah will cause the desert to whirl; Jehovah will cause the desert of holiness to whirl. ⁹ The voice of Jehovah will cause the hinds to bring forth, and will uncover the forests: and in his temple every one said, Glory. ¹⁰ Jehovah sat upon the inundation: and Jehovah sat King forever. ¹¹ Jehovah will give strength to his people; he will bless his people with peace. ³⁰ ¹ Chanting a song of consecration of the house of David. I will exalt thee, O Jehovah, for thou didst draw me out, and thou didst not gladden mine enemies to me. ² O Jehovah my God, I cried to thee, and thou wilt heal me. ³ O Jehovah, thou broughtest up my soul from hades: thou didst save me alive from those going down to the pit ⁴ Play on the harp to Jehovah, ye his godly ones, and praise at the remembrance of his holiness. ⁵ For a moment in his anger; life in his acceptance: weeping shall lodge in the evening, and rejoicing for the morning. ⁶ And I said in my security, I shall not be moved forever. ⁷ O Jehovah, in thy good will thou didst cause strength to stand for my mountain: thou didst cover thy face, I was in trepidation. ⁸ To thee, O Jehovah, will I call, and to Jehovah will I make supplication. ⁹ What the profit in my blood in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it announce thy truth? ¹⁰ Hear, O Jehovah, and pity me: O Jehovah, be a helper to me. ¹¹ Thou didst turn my wailing to dancing to me: thou didst loose my sackcloth, and thou wilt gird me with gladness; ¹² So that glory shall play on the harp to thee, and shall not be silent O Jehovah my God, I will praise thee forever.
