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 self-conceit exult over me.

            ג Grant blessing to all who look to you;
               faithlessness brings disappointment and emptiness.
            ד Direct me along your path, Holy One;

               teach me your ways.
            ה Help me stay true to your way – and teach me,

               for you are my deliverer.
            ו Wondrous, I gaze upon your works at all times.

            ז Zealous Godde, be mindful of your compassion
              and your faithfulness;

              they existed before time came into being.
            ח Holy One, consider neither my youthful sins
              nor my transgressions;

              in keeping with your goodness and faithfulness
              consider those things that count in my favour.

            ט Tender and righteous is the Holy One;
              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 honour Godde's covenant.

             ל Love is your name, Holy One,
               therefore, I ask you to pardon my unkindness.

            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 sacred promise is revealed.
