1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
25:1 By David. To you, Yahweh, I lift up my soul.
2 In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
25:2 My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.
3 Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
25:3 Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.
25:4 Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.
5 Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.
25:5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long.
6 Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
25:6 Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.
7 The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.
25:7 Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh.
8 The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.
25:8 Good and upright is Yahweh, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
9 He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.
25:9 He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.
10 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.
25:10 All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.
25:11 For your name’s sake, Yahweh, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Who is the man that feareth the Lord? He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.
25:12 What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.
13 His soul shall dwell in good things: and his seed shall inherit the land.
25:13 His soul will dwell at ease. His offspring will inherit the land.
14 The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.
25:14 The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.
15 My eyes are ever towards the Lord: for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.
25:15 My eyes are ever on Yahweh, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.
25:16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.
25:17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses.
18 See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.
25:18 Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.
25:19 Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.
25:20 Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you.
21 The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.
25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.
22 Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
25:22 God, redeem Israel out of all his troubles.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 25.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
