George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:7

Hear. Hebrew with points, "publish." (Berthier) --- St. Jerome agrees with the Septuagint. --- Thy praise. The former word is not expressed in the Vulgate or Hebrew, (Haydock) but is understood; and occurs in some editions of the Septuagint, as well as in the Syriac. (Houbigant, &c.) --- Worldlings come to the assemblies of the faithful, but often without piety or advantage. Priests themselves but too frequently dishonour the altar, which they serve. (Berthier) --- If they were careful to... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:8

Beauty. The ark, 1 Kings iv. 22. Symmachus, "the palace." (Calmet) --- Hebrew, "the dwelling." The psalmist desires to imitate those fervent Levites, who chose always to attend the tabernacle, Deuteronomy xviii. 6. (Calmet) --- Mehon, when applied to the "dwelling" of God, may be properly rendered a temple, heaven, &c., Deuteronomy xxvi. 15. (Berthier) --- No one who reflects on the blessings dispensed in God's house, can fail to be struck with admiration. (Worthington) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:9

Take; literally, "destroy," (Haydock) or suffer me not to be contaminated or lost. (Worthington) --- Hebrew, "gather." Protestants, or "take not away." (Marginal note; and St. Jerome) (Haydock) --- Hebrew may be more expressive, and agrees with the parable, where God orders the cockle to be gathered into bundles, to be burnt. [Matthew xiii. 30.?] (Berthier) --- Treat me not like the wicked and murderers, who are cut off before their time. (Calmet) --- David alludes to a future state, as he knew... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:10

Gifts, to bribe; or rather, which the judges have received. (Berthier) Shochad is always used in a bad sense for "a bribe." (Calmet) --- Est munus a lingua....a manu....et ab obsequio. (St. Jerome) --- The wicked use their worldly goods to corrupt others. (Worthington) --- Jugurtha leaving Rome, said, "O venal city." (Sallust) read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:11

Innocence. He opposes the integrity of his proceedings to that of the wicked. (Calmet) --- Yet still calls for mercy. (Haydock) --- Every one should strive to be innocent, and to avoid the company of worldlings. (Worthington) read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:12

Direct, ( directo. ) Protestants, "in an even place," (Haydock) in the court where the Levites sung. (Vatable) --- I have followed the paths of justice, and hope soon to be able to praise thee in thy temple. (Calmet) --- These seven last verses are daily recited at Mass. But do we reflect what innocence and fervour are required of the sacred ministers? I cannot assert that my paths have never strayed from the right way. Pardon my transgressions, and enable me henceforth to live so that I may be... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:1-7

1-7 In worshipping God, we must lift up our souls to him. It is certain that none who, by a believing attendance, wait on God, and, by a believing hope, wait for him, shall be ashamed of it. The most advanced believer both needs and desires to be taught of God. If we sincerely desire to know our duty, with resolution to do it, we may be sure that God will direct us in it. The psalmist is earnest for the pardon of his sins. When God pardons sin, he is said to remember it no more, which denotes... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:8-14

8-14 We are all sinners; and Christ came into the world to save sinners, to teach sinners, to call sinners to repentance. We value a promise by the character of him that makes it; we therefore depend upon God's promises. All the paths of the Lord, that is, all his promises and all his providences, are mercy and truth. In all God's dealings his people may see his mercy displayed, and his word fulfilled, whatever afflictions they are now exercised with. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:15-22

15-22 The psalmist concludes, as he began, with expressing dependence upon God, and desire toward him. It is good thus to hope, and quietly to wait for the salvation of the Lord. And if God turns to us, no matter who turns from us. He pleads his own integrity. Though guilty before God, yet, as to his enemies, he had the testimony of conscience that he had done them no wrong. God would, at length, give Israel rest from all their enemies round about. In heaven, God's Israel will be perfectly... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 25:1-22

A Prayer for Merciful Protection and Guidance. A psalm of David. v. 1. Unto thee, O Lord, in an emphatic singling out of Jehovah as the one true God, do I lift up my soul, withdrawn from all earthly desires, with a fervent longing for Jehovah's salvation. v. 2. 0 my God, I trust in Thee, abiding firmly in this confidence; let me not be ashamed, become an object of mockery; let not mine enemies triumph over me, with exulting jeers over the foolishness of his trust. v. 3. Yea, let none... read more
