25 [1] **A Psalm by David. To You, Lord, I lift up my soul, **elevating it to a higher level and bringing it closer to God.
[2] **My God, in You do I trust, **and because I trust in You,** do not let me be shamed, nor let my enemies exult over me. **
[3] **Indeed, all those who place their hope in You will not be ashamed, **for You will come to their aid;** ashamed will be those who deal treacherously without cause, **for no particular gain, but out of pure malice.
[4] **Show me Your ways, Lord; teach me Your paths. **
[5] **Lead me in Your truth and instruct me, for You are the God of my salvation; in You do I place my hope all day long.**
[6] **Remember, Lord, Your mercy and kindness, for they are eternal. **
[7] But** do not recall the sins of my youth or my transgressions,** committed out of impetuous, youthful desire.** Remember **for **me **my good deeds **with Your kindness, for the sake of Your goodness, Lord. **
[8] **Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He instructs sinners in the **proper **way,** to help them find the path of righteousness and integrity.
[9] **He guides the humble with justice, and He teaches the humble His way. **
[10] **All the paths of the Lord are kindness and truth, for those who keep His covenant and His precepts. **
[11] Act** for the sake of Your name, Lord, and pardon my iniquity, for it is great. **
[12] **Who is the man, **how great is the man,** who fears the Lord, whom He instructs in the way that He chooses? **
[13] **His soul will rest in good. **“Rest” here can refer both to ordinary sleep and to death; the righteous man’s sleep, in both senses of the word, will be peaceful. **And his descendants will inherit the earth. **
[14] **The secret of the Lord is **revealed **to those who fear Him. He will give them knowledge of** **His covenant** expressed in the words of the Torah.
[15] **My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for He draws my feet out of the net. **He rescues me from traps and pitfalls that surround me even when I am unaware of them.
[16] **Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted **and in need of Your help.
[17] **The troubles of my heart are widespread; free me from my distresses. **
[18] **See my affliction and my toil, and forgive all my sins. **
[19] **Regard my enemies, for they are many; they hate me with a hatred **born **of injustice, **a hatred that is driven by their desire to unjustly rob me of my possessions.
[20] **Protect me and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You. **
[21] **Let **Your** integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I place my hope in You. **
[22] In conclusion, a general request on behalf of the entire nation:* ***God, redeem Israel from all its troubles. **
