Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:12
That feareth the Lord - Who has a proper apprehension of his holiness, justice, and truth; and who, at the same time, sees himself a fallen spirit, and a transgressor of God's holy law, and consequently under the curse. That is the person that truly and reverently fears God. Him shall he teach - Such a person has a teachable spirit. The way that he shall choose - The way that in the course of Providence he has chosen, as the way in which he is to gain things honest in the sight of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:13
His soul shall dwell at ease - תלין בטוב betob talin , "shall lodge in goodness;" this is the marginal reading in our version; and is preferable to that in the text. His seed shall inherit - His posterity shall be blessed. For them many prayers have been sent up to God by their pious fathers; and God has registered these prayers in their behalf. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:14
The secret of the Lord is with them - טוד sod , the secret assembly of the Lord is with them that fear him; many of them have a Church in their own house. He will show them his covenant - He will let them see how great blessings he has provided for them that love him. Some refer this to the covenant of redemption by Christ Jesus. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:18
Look upon mine affliction - See my distressed condition, and thy eye will affect thy heart. Forgive all my sins - My sins are the cause of all my sufferings; forgive these. This is the verse which should begin with the letter ק koph ; but, instead of it, we have ר resh both here, where it should not be, and in the next verse where it should be. Dr. Kennicott reads קומה kumah , "arise," and Houbigant, קצר ketsar , "cut short." The word which began with ק koph has... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:1
Verse 1 1.Unto thee, O Jehovah! etc The Psalmist declares at the very outset, that he is not driven hither and thither, after the manner of the ungodly, but that he directs all his desires and prayers to God alone. Nothing is more inconsistent with true and sincere prayer to God, than to waver and gaze about as the heathen do, for some help from the world; and at the same time to forsake God, or not to betake ourselves directly to his guardianship and protection. Those who imagine that David... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:10
All the paths of the Lord - ארחות orchoth signifies the tracks or ruts made by the wheels of wagons by often passing over the same ground. Mercy and truth are the paths in which God constantly walks in reference to the children of men; and so frequently does he show them mercy, and so frequently does he fulfill his truth that his paths are earnestly discerned. How frequent, how deeply indented, and how multiplied are those tracks to every family and individual! Wherever we go, we see... read more
