Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 25:1-22
INTRODUCTION“David is pictured in this psalm as in a faithful miniature. His holy trust, his many conflicts, his great transgression, his bitter repentance, and his deep distresses are all here; so that we see the very heart of ‘the man after God’s own heart.’ It is evidently a composition of David’s later days, for he mentions the sins of his youth, and, from its painful references to the craft and cruelty of his many foes, it will not be too speculative a theory to refer it to the period when... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:7
Psalms 25:7 The true significance of the present is not revealed in the present. Only the lapse of years makes us dispassionate judges of our earlier selves. The text is the utterance of a man who is letting a sorrowful and faultful past come home to his matured judgment to be tried by its higher standards and its clearer discrimination. I. "Remember not the sins of my youth." The truth assumed in these words is one which concerns the character of God, the truth, namely, that God cannot be... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:9
Psalms 25:9 I. Humility dates from Jesus Christ. At the feet of Jesus Christ, at the feet of Him whom St. John calls the Light, worldly virtues grow dim and are effaced, as the brilliancy of the most cleverly imitated jewels grows dim near the lustre of a pure diamond. But there is something more efficacious than the sight of the perfection of Jesus Christ to produce humility; it is the sight of His love. It is at the foot of the Cross humility is born; that Divine flower, hitherto unknown by... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:14
Psalms 25:14 I. The secret of the Lord must be a secret of knowledge. II. The secret of the Lord must be a secret of safety. III. The secret of the Lord is a secret of strength. IV. God's secret is a secret of peace. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him. The fear of God, like everything else, must come instrumentally by practice. C. J. Vaughan, Memorials of Harrow Sundays, p. 263. References: Psalms 25:14 . W. A. Essery, Christian World Pulpit, vol. i., p. 182; W. Logan, Ibid.,... read more

DISCOURSE: 530THE SAINT PLEADING WITH GODPsalms 25:6-7. Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me, for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.AT what precise period this psalm was written, is not certainly known; but probably about the time of Absalom’s rebellion. It is evident that David’s sorrows were very great [Note: ver. 16, 17.]: but those which... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Psalms 25:9
DISCOURSE: 531MEEK DOCILITY INCULCATEDPsalms 25:9. The meek will he guide in judgment; and the meek he will teach his way.THE necessity of a revelation is universally acknowledged: for no man could possibly know God’s will, unless God himself should be pleased to communicate information respecting it from above. But the necessity for any divine influence upon the soul, in order to a due improvement of a revelation already given, is not generally admitted. But we are expressly told, that “all... read more

DISCOURSE: 532GOD’S PATHS ARE MERCY AND TRUTHPsalms 25:10. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.IT has often been observed, that there is in the world an indiscriminate distribution of good and evil, without any respect to men’s moral characters. And this is confirmed by Solomon, who says, “All things come alike to all, neither knoweth any man love or hatred by all that is before him.” This, however, must be understood with certain... read more

DISCOURSE: 533PROPER METHOD OF PRAYING TO GODPsalms 25:11. For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity! for it is great.GOD is a mighty Sovereign, “who doth according to his own will,” “neither giveth account to us of any of his matters.” We may indeed mark the traces of wisdom and goodness in every thing which he does; but “his ways and his thoughts are very different from ours, and far above them.” In the dispensations of his providence he pays no regard to the moral characters of men,... read more
