Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 25:1
PSALM 25A PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESSWe have entitled this psalm "A Prayer for Forgiveness," because of the triple plea to that effect in the psalm. Halley called it, "The Prayer of a Sin-oppressed Soul,"[1] which is also a very appropriate title.Some writers have supposed that the author of this psalm was not, in any sense, writing it as a personal prayer for himself, but as a prayer suggested for others who might need to pray such a prayer. As Taylor expressed it, "The writer is not composing an... read more

"Good and upright is Jehovah:Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.The meek will he guide in justice;And the meek will he teach his way.All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truthUnto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.For thy name's sake, O Jehovah,Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.What man is he that feareth Jehovah?Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.His soul shall dwell at ease;And his seed shall inherit the land.The friendship of Jehovah... read more

"Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;For I am desolate and afflicted.The troubles of my heart are enlarged:O bring thou me out of my distresses.Consider mine affliction and my travail;And forgive all my sins.Consider mine enemies, for they are many;And they hate me with cruel hatred.O keep my soul, and deliver me:Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,For I wait for thee.Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.""Desolate ...... read more

Psalms 25:0. David's confidence in prayer: he prayeth for remission of sins, and for help in affliction. A Psalm of David. Title.— לדוד ledavid. This is one of the alphabetical or acrostic psalms, so called because every verse (in the Hebrew) begins with a different letter of the alphabet in their order.

Psalms 25:15. For he shall pluck my feet, &c.— As the Hebrew grammarians found or made no rule to distinguish the optative, potential, and subjunctive moods, the sense of which is very necessary to be frequently expressed; by a careful attention we may easily discover the characteristics of these moods comprehended in and expressed by the future tense. Thus, instead of for he shall, we may read in this verse, that he may, or because he can, &c. Pilkington, sect. 21. read more

Psalms 25:18. Forgive all my sins— David joins this petition to the foregoing one, because he considered that, whatever afflictions and crosses were brought upon him, how unjust soever they might be with respect to his enemies, who were the apparent causes of them; yet, according to God's appointment or permission, they might be the effects and punishment of his sins. read more
