Psalm 25

1A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.

2O my God, in thee have I trusted, Let me not be put to shame; Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3Yea, none that wait for thee shall be put to shame: They shall be put to shame that deal treacherously without cause.

1A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

Commentary · verses 1-3

Waiting on God would lead to not being put to shame in the long term. Those who dealt treacherously without cause would be put to shame.

4Show me thy ways, O Jehovah; Teach me thy paths.

5Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; For thou art the God of my salvation; For thee do I wait all the day.

4Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

5Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

10All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

11For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, Pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

12What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.

9The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

12What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

Commentary · verses 9-12

God not only instructed sinners but also those who feared Him. God instructed all of us to doing His Will.

13His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.

14The friendship of Jehovah is with them that fear him; And he will show them his covenant.

13His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

Commentary · verses 13-14

Fearing God led to His friendship. Similar to Jesus' Words from John 15:14 – "Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you." In the Bible, friends were able to speak for each other.

15Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; For he will pluck my feet out of the net.

16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; For I am desolate and afflicted.

17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: Oh bring thou me out of my distresses.

18Consider mine affliction and my travail; And forgive all my sins.

19Consider mine enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred.

20Oh keep my soul, and deliver me: Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.

21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for thee.

22Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all his troubles.

15Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

17The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

19Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

20O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

22Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
