Psalm 25

א All-gracious One, I set my hope on you;

ב Beloved, I trust you;

don't disappoint me,

don't let my shadow-self exult over me.

ג Grant blessing to all who look to you;

faithlessness brings disappointment and emptiness.

ד Direct me along your path, O Holy One;

teach me your ways

ה Help me stay on your true way – and teach me,

for you are ו Wondrous,

my deliverer, I look to you at all times.

ז Zealous Godde, be mindful of your compassion

and your faithfulness;

they are as old as time.

ח Holy One, be not mindful of my youthful sins

and transgressions.

In keeping with your goodness and faithfulness

consider those things that are in my favor.

ט Tender and righteous is the Holy One;

therefore Godde shows transgressors the way.

י Yes, Godde guides the modest on the right path;

Teaching the humble Godde's way,

כ Constant love paves all the paths of the Holy One,

leading those who honor Godde's covenant.

ל Love is your name, O Holy One,

therefore I ask you to pardon my great iniquity.

מ Modesty offers reverence to Godde

who then reveals which path to choose.

נ Now the faithful live a happy life

and their children inherit the land.

ס Secrets of the Holy One are for those who revere Godde;

to them the Covenant is revealed.

ע Eyes ever directed toward you, Godde,

you free me from that which binds me.

פ Please turn to me, have mercy on me,

for I am alone and afflicted.

צ Save me from these dire straits;

my heart is deeply distressed.

ר Release me from my affliction and suffering;

forgive all my sins.

I am overwhelmed by injustice and hatred!

ש Show you are my protection; don't disappoint me

for you are my refuge.

ת Towers of integrity and righteousness watch over me;

for I look to you, O Godde,

you redeem your people from all their distress.
