Tehillim 25
Orthodox Jewish Bible
25 (Of Dovid) [Aleph] Unto Thee, Hashem, do I lift up my nefesh.
2 [Bais] O Elohai, I trust in Thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine oyevim triumph over me.
3 [Gimel] Yea, let none that wait [hoping in] Thee be ashamed; let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 [Dalet] Show me Thy ways, Hashem; teach me Thy paths.
5 [Heh Vav] Lead me in Thy emes, and teach me; for Thou art the Elohei of my Salvation; on Thee do I wait kol hayom.
6 [Zayin] Remember, Hashem, Thy rachamim and Thy lovingkindnesses; for they have ever been of old.
7 [Chet] Remember not the chattot of my youth, nor my peysha’im; according to Thy chesed remember Thou me for the sake of Thy goodness, Hashem.
8 [Tet] Tov and yashar is Hashem; therefore will He teach chatta’im in the Derech.
9 [Yod] The meek will He guide in mishpat; and the aniyim will He teach His way.
10 [Kaph] All the paths of Hashem are chesed and emes unto such as keep His Brit (covenant) and His Edot (covenant demands, urgings, reminders, testimonies).
11 [Lamed] For the sake of Thy Shem, Hashem, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12 [Mem] What man is he that feareth Hashem? Him shall He teach in the Derech that he shall choose.
13 [Nun] His nefesh (soul) shall dwell in prosperity; and his zera shall inherit the earth.
14 [Samech] The secret of Hashem is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His Brit (covenant).
15 [Ayin] Mine eyes are ever toward Hashem; for He shall pluck my feet out of the reshet (net).
16 [Peh] Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am yachid (alone, lonely) and afflicted.
17 [Tzade] The tzoros of my lev are multiplied; O bring Thou me forth out of my distresses.
18 [Resh] Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and take away all my chattot.
19 Resh] Look upon mine enemies; for they are increased; and they hate me with sinas chamas.
20 Shin] Be shomer over my nefesh, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed; for I take refuge in Thee.
21 [Tav] Let tohm (integrity, guilelessness) and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on Thee.
22 Redeem Yisroel, O Elohim, out of all his tzoros.

Psalm 25
New International Version
Psalm 25[a]
Of David.
1 In you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.(A)
2 I trust in you;(B)
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,(C)
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous(D) without cause.
4 Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.(E)
5 Guide me in your truth(F) and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,(G)
and my hope is in you(H) all day long.
6 Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,(I)
for they are from of old.
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth(J)
and my rebellious ways;(K)
according to your love(L) remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.(M)
8 Good and upright(N) is the Lord;
therefore he instructs(O) sinners in his ways.
9 He guides(P) the humble in what is right
and teaches them(Q) his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful(R)
toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.(S)
11 For the sake of your name,(T) Lord,
forgive(U) my iniquity,(V) though it is great.
12 Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?(W)
He will instruct them in the ways(X) they should choose.[b]
13 They will spend their days in prosperity,(Y)
and their descendants will inherit the land.(Z)
14 The Lord confides(AA) in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known(AB) to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the Lord,(AC)
for only he will release my feet from the snare.(AD)
16 Turn to me(AE) and be gracious to me,(AF)
for I am lonely(AG) and afflicted.
17 Relieve the troubles(AH) of my heart
and free me from my anguish.(AI)
18 Look on my affliction(AJ) and my distress(AK)
and take away all my sins.(AL)
19 See how numerous are my enemies(AM)
and how fiercely they hate me!(AN)
20 Guard my life(AO) and rescue me;(AP)
do not let me be put to shame,(AQ)
for I take refuge(AR) in you.
21 May integrity(AS) and uprightness(AT) protect me,
because my hope, Lord,[c] is in you.(AU)
22 Deliver Israel,(AV) O God,
from all their troubles!
