Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:8-11

God In His Goodness Guides All Who Are Responsive To Him, And Reveals To Them His Goodness In Mercy And Covenant Love, Including Pardoning Their Iniquity (Psalms 25:8-11 ). Having called on God to guide him and show His covenant mercy towards him, the Psalmist now points out that this is in fact what YHWH, Who is good and upright, does for all sinners who are willing to be responsive to Him. He guides and leads them in His way, and reveals His covenant love (chesed) and faithfulness towards... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:12-15

The One Who Fears YHWH Will Receive His Instruction, Will Enjoy Security And Prosperity, Will Be Aware That He Is One Of His Covenant People, And Will Be Kept From Falling (Psalms 25:12-15 ). We now come to the second and third stage in the parallels. In the case of the second stage the emphasis has been on YHWH’s activity towards His responsive people, in the case of the third stage it is on how His people who fear Him will benefit from it. But both have a similar pattern in mind: Psalms... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:16-18

The Psalmist Now Prays For Deliverance From His Afflictions And Again For Forgiveness For His Sins (Psalms 25:16-18 ). Following the confidence expressed in the previous verses the Psalmist’s situation now again comes strongly home to him, and he sends up a heartfelt plea for deliverance. Three problems are especially in mind in the final verses of the Psalm, firstly his need to be delivered from his afflictions, secondly his repeated need for forgiveness, and thirdly his need to be saved... 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 25:1

i.e. I direct my desires and prayers (which are expressed by this phrase, Psalms 24:4; Jeremiah 22:27; Lamentations 3:41) with hope or expectation of a gracious answer, which also it implies, Deuteronomy 24:15. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:3

Let none that wait on thee be ashamed, with me and for me; for if I be frustrated, all that trust in thee will be discouraged and upbraided with my example. Let them be ashamed; blast their wicked designs and hopes. Which transgress, or prevaricate, or deal perfidiously with me, violating their faith given to me. Without a cause; without any provocation of mine, or without any sufficient reason. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:4

Thy ways, i.e. the way of thy precepts, which I ought to do in my circumstances and difficulties; by what methods I may obtain thy favour and help. Whatsoever thou dost with me as to other things, grant me this favour, teach me my duty, and cause me to keep close to it, notwithstanding all temptations to the contrary. 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:6

O consider thy own merciful nature, and thy former manifold favours vouchsafed to me, and to other miserable sinners, and do like thyself. Thou hast been gracious to such as I am from the beginning of the world to this day, and to me in particular from my very infancy, as he oft acknowledgeth in this book; yea, from all eternity thou hast had a good will to me, and therefore do not now desist and desert me. read more
