Psalms 25:7 Pico della Mirandola quotes this text in a letter to his nephew in which he advises him with regard to daily prayer. 'When I stir thee up to prayer,' he wrote, 'I stir thee not to the prayer that standeth in many words, but to that prayer which in the secret chamber of the mind, in the privy-closet of the soul, with very affect speaketh unto God, and in the most lightsome darkness of contemplation, not only presenteth the mind to the Father, but also uniteth it with Him by... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:1-22
Psalms 25:1-22THE recurrence of the phrase "lift up the soul" may have determined the place of this psalm next to Psalms 24:1-10. It is acrostic, but with irregularities. As the text now stands, the second, not the first, word in Psalms 25:2 begins with Beth; Vav is omitted or represented in the "and teach me" of the He verse (Psalms 25:5); Qoph is also omitted, and its place taken by a supernumerary Resh, which letter has thus two verses (Psalms 25:18-19); and Psalms 25:22 begins with Pe, and... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 25:1-22
Psalm 25-39 The fifteen Psalms which follow give the deep soul exercise of the godly. All fifteen, except the thirty-third, are marked as Psalms of David. Much of it expresses undoubtedly his own individual experience during the days of his suffering and at other occasions. Prophetically these Psalms give again the experience of the godly remnant of Israel in the time of trouble, preceding the coming of the King. We also can trace in these experiences much which concerns our Lord in His... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 25:14
(14) Secret.—Rather, familiar intercourse (so Symmachus). The Hebrew word primarily means couch, and then the confidential talk of those sitting on it. In Jeremiah 6:11; Jeremiah 15:17, the word is rendered “assembly.” The English word board offers a direct analogy. The word divan seems to have had a history exactly the reverse. (Comp. Psalms 55:14, “sweet counsel.”)And he will shew them his covenant.—Literally, and his covenant to make them know. This is closely parallel with the preceding... read more
