Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:1-7

A Prayer For Protection And Guidance From YHWH (Psalms 25:1-7 ). In Psalms 25:1-2 the Psalmist lifts up His soul to God, and prays that his cause might be upheld, and then in Psalms 25:3 he asserts his confidence that God will indeed hear his prayer. This is followed in Psalms 25:4-5 by a request to be taught by YHWH because He is his saving God for whom he continually waits, and a plea in Psalms 25:6-7 that YHWH will remember His own tender mercies rather than the Psalmist’s sins. Thus it... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:1-22

XXV. An acrostic poem composed of religious maxims and prayers which have little or no connexion with each other. The text is imperfect, for in Psalms 25:18 f. the letter Q is omitted and R is repeated twice. Psalms 25:9 . In post-exilic times the pious Jews were usually poor. Hence the favourite virtue of the good Jews was submission to God, gentleness, resignation; such are the persons here called “ meek.” See Psalms 62 for the estimate of riches in later times. Psalms 25:11 . for it is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:5

In thy truth, i.e. in the true and right way prescribed in thy word, which is oft called truth, as Psalms 119:30; John 8:45,John 8:46; John 16:13, &c. Or, by or because of thy truth, i.e. because thou art faithful, do thou lead or guide me as thou hast promised to do. The God of my salvation, i.e. who hast saved me formerly, and hast engaged to save me, and from whom alone I expect salvation. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 25:1-22

INTRODUCTION“David is pictured in this psalm as in a faithful miniature. His holy trust, his many conflicts, his great transgression, his bitter repentance, and his deep distresses are all here; so that we see the very heart of ‘the man after God’s own heart.’ It is evidently a composition of David’s later days, for he mentions the sins of his youth, and, from its painful references to the craft and cruelty of his many foes, it will not be too speculative a theory to refer it to the period when... read more

Psalms 25:1 . To thee, oh Lord, do I lift up my soul anew, now in this time of war and danger. Psalms 25:5 . On thee do I wait all the day.

Psa 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Ver. 5. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me ] i.e. Assidue doce et urge. David was a great proficient in God’s school, and yet he would learn more; so sweet is divine knowledge. Four times together here prayeth David to be further instructed. See Moses in like manner holily encroaching upon God, Exodus 33:12-13 ; Exodus 33:16 ; Exodus 33:18 , as if his motto had been that of... read more
