P. 45
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.
