Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:7

Remember not, so as to lay to my charge, the sins committed in my young and tender years, Ecclesiastes 11:9,Ecclesiastes 11:10 which God frequently puntsbeth in riper age, Job 13:26; Jeremiah 3:25, and therefore he now prays that God would not deal so with him. Nor my transgressions; my succeeding or other sins, which either have been acted by me, or may be imputed to me. Being a sinner, I have nothing to plead for myself but thy free mercy and goodness, which I now implore. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:8

Good, i.e. bountiful and gracious to sinners, ready to do good, and delighting in it. Upright, or, right, i.e. holy and true, sincere in making promises, and in all his declarations and offers of mercy to sinners, and faithful in fulfilling them. Being such a one, he will not be wanting to such poor sinners as I am, but will guide them by his word, and Spirit, and gracious providence into the way of life and peace. By sinners he doth not understand all that are so; not such as are obstinate,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:9

The meek, i.e. the humble and lowly, such as meekly submit themselves to God’s hand and word, and are willing and desirous to be directed and governed by him. In judgment, i.e. in the paths of judgment; or in the right way wherein they should walk, as the next clause explains this; or by the rule of his word, which is oft called his judgment, or judgments. Or, with judgment, i.e. with a wise and provident care, and a due regard to all their circumstances. See Jeremiah 10:24; 1 Corinthians... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:10

All the dealings of God with them, yea, even those that are afflictive and grievous to the flesh, are done in kindness and faithfulness to them, as being very necessary for them, and tending to their great advantage. His covenant, i.e. the laws or conditions required of them by his covenant; or, as it follows, his testimonies, i.e. his precepts, which are the testimonies or witnesses of God’s will, and of man’s duty. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:11

For thy name’s sake, i.e. for the honour of thy goodness and truth, which is concerned herein. For it is great; and therefore none but such a God can pardon it, and nothing but thy own name can move thee to do it; and the pardoning of it will well become so great and good a God, and will tend much to the illustration of thy glory, as the greatness and desperateness of the disease advanceth the honour and praise of the physician. Or this may be urged, not as an argument to move God, but as the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:12

What man is he, i.e. whosoever he be, whether Jew or Gentile, whether more innocent, or a greater sinner, which is my case. That he shall choose, i.e. which God appointeth or approveth. Or, which he, i.e. such person, should choose; for the future tense is oft put potentially, and so as to express a man’s duty, as Genesis 20:9; Malachi 1:6; Malachi 2:7. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:13

Shall dwell, Heb. shall lodge, i.e. continue, as this word signifies, Job 17:2; Proverbs 19:23. It notes the constancy and stability of his happiness, both whilst he lives, and when he is dead; which the next clause seems to suppose. At ease, Heb. in good, i.e. in the possession and enjoyment of the true good. The earth, or, the land, to wit, Canaan; which was promised and given, as an earnest of the whole covenant of grace, and all its promises, and therefore is synecdochically put for all of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:14

The secret of the Lord; either, 1. His word and counsel, to direct and guide them in the right way, which he oft mentions here as a singular blessing, Psalms 25:8,Psalms 25:9,Psalms 25:12, to show them their duty in all conditions, and the way to their eternal salvation. And so this may seem to be explained by the following words, he will show them his covenant. And this, though it was revealed, yet might be called a secret, because of the many and deep mysteries in it, and because it is said... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 25:16

Turn thee unto me; turn thy face and favour to me, O thou who now hast turned thy back upon me, and forsaken me. I am desolate; destitute of all other hopes and succours; persecuted by mine enemies, and forsaken by the most of my friends; as he was in Absalom’s rebellion. read more
