James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:1-22

Psalms 25:0 In the Hebrew this prayer is arranged as an acrostic, i.e., the first word of each verse begins with a letter in alphabetical order from A-to-Z. Hereafter we shall not give as much attention to every psalm as we have thus far, but trust the reader to do the analyzing after the examples given. The purpose of this book is not so much textual explanation as a stimulus to Bible study in a broader sense, and it is assumed that the reader has been studying the Bible side by side with the... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 25:4-5

There is a beautiful order in these expressions; first to be shown, then to be taught, and then to be led, in the path of grace. How, blessed it is to have the Spirit to teach, the Spirit to lead, and Jesus himself to be the way. And all this because God in Christ is every poor sinner's salvation that trusteth in him. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:4

Council. Hebrew, "men." --- Doers. Hebrew, "men of darkness;" which means the wicked, (Berthier) who love darkness. Protestants, "dissemblers." (Haydock) --- The sacred minister ought to avoid evil company. (Calmet) --- David had often people of this description, like Joab and Abner, in his train; but he did not approve of their conduct. Some would restrain his words to idolaters: but this would make his declaration of little importance to Christians, as many would say the same, though they... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:1-7

1-7 In worshipping God, we must lift up our souls to him. It is certain that none who, by a believing attendance, wait on God, and, by a believing hope, wait for him, shall be ashamed of it. The most advanced believer both needs and desires to be taught of God. If we sincerely desire to know our duty, with resolution to do it, we may be sure that God will direct us in it. The psalmist is earnest for the pardon of his sins. When God pardons sin, he is said to remember it no more, which denotes... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 25:1-22

A Prayer for Merciful Protection and Guidance. A psalm of David. v. 1. Unto thee, O Lord, in an emphatic singling out of Jehovah as the one true God, do I lift up my soul, withdrawn from all earthly desires, with a fervent longing for Jehovah's salvation. v. 2. 0 my God, I trust in Thee, abiding firmly in this confidence; let me not be ashamed, become an object of mockery; let not mine enemies triumph over me, with exulting jeers over the foolishness of his trust. v. 3. Yea, let none... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 25:1-22

The sob of a great sorrow sounds throughout this psalm. The circumstances of its writing were those of desolation, affliction, distress, travail, as the latter part especially shows. Yet the main content is one full of help to all who are in sorrow. It is far more than a wail saddening all who read it. It is the voice of hope and confidence, and tells of succour and of strength. It has three movements in it. The first (vv. Psa 25:1-7 ), and the last (vv. Psa 25:16-22 ) are prayers uttered out... read more
