25:1Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up.

25:2My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

25:3Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

25:4Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

25:5Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou art the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

25:6Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for from the age are they.

25:7Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.

25:8Good and upright is Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

25:9He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.

25:10All the paths of Jehovah are kindness and truth, To those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies.

25:11For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it is great.

25:12Who is this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him in the way He doth choose.

25:13His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess the land.

25:14The secret of Jehovah is for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know.

25:15Mine eyes are continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.

25:16Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted am I.

25:17The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From my distresses bring me out.

25:18See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

25:19See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent hatred they have hated me.

25:20Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I trusted in Thee.

25:21Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited on Thee.

25:22Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses!

26:0By David.

26:1Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

26:2Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified are my reins and my heart.

26:3For Thy kindness is before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

26:4I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter not.

26:5I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the wicked I sit not.

26:6I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

26:7To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy wonders.

26:8Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the place of the tabernacle of Thine honour.

26:9Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood my life,

26:10In whose hand is a wicked device, And their right hand is full of bribes.

26:11And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

26:12My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!

27:0By David.

27:1Jehovah is my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?

27:2When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

27:3Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I am confident.

27:4One thing I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

27:5For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.

27:6And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah.

27:7Hear, O Jehovah, my voice -- I call, And favour me, and answer me.

27:8To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O Jehovah, I seek.'

27:9Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

27:10When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth Jehovah gather me.

27:11Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.

27:12Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.

27:13I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In the land of the living!

27:14Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!
