Psalm 25:13 KJV,NLT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 25:8-14

God's promises are here mixed with David's prayers. Many petitions there were in the former part of the psalm, and many we shall find in the latter; and here, in the middle of the psalm, he meditates upon the promises, and by a lively faith sucks and is satisfied from these breasts of consolation; for the promises of God are not only the best foundation of prayer, telling us what to pray for and encouraging our faith and hope in prayer, but they are a present answer to prayer. Let the prayer... read more

His soul shall dwell at ease ,.... Or in "goodness" F6 בטוב "in bono", Pagninus, Montanus, Musculus, Junius & Tremellius, &c.; so Ainsworth. , enjoying an affluence of good things, of spiritual blessings in Christ, in whom he dwells by faith; and where he has peace and safety, amidst all the troubles, afflictions, and exercises, he meets with; and where with godliness he has contentment, which is great gain indeed; for, though he may seem to have nothing, he possesses all... read more

Adam Clarke

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

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:13

Verse 13 13.His soul shall dwell in good. If the supreme felicity of man consists in undertaking or attempting nothing except by the warrant of God, it follows that it is also a high and incomparable benefit to have him for our conductor and guide through life, that we may never go astray. But, in addition to this, an earthly blessing is here promised, in which the fruit of the preceding grace is distinctly shown, as Paul also teaches, “Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 25:1-22

The metrical arrangement is not very marked. Some divide the psalm into five unequal strophes— Psalms 9:1-7 , Psalms 9:8-10 , Psalms 9:11-15 , verses 16-21, and verse 22; others see no divisions beyond those of the Hebrew verses, which are followed in our Authorized Bible. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 25:1-22

Prayer: its warrant, petitions, and arguments. It is thought by some that this prayer belongs to the Exile period; but by whomsoever it may have been penned, or at whatsoever age, matters little. There is nothing in it which depends on known historic incident £ for its elucidation. And whoever desires to dive into the depths of its meaning will find the habit of waiting on God the best key to its words and phrases. No merely natural man can possibly unravel spiritual things, and he who... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 25:8-14

Here we may learn somehing as to God's revelation to man. I. That God's revelation MUST BE IN HARMONY WITH HIS CHARACTER . With God there can be no contradiction. What he does shows what he is. His words and his works agree. If we were created in the image of God, then we reasonably infer that, when God makes a special revelation to us, it will be in accord with our moral nature. This is what gives the gospel its preciousness and its power. "God was in Christ." II. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 25:8-14

The supreme importance of Divine interposition. The main subject of these verses is the Divine teaching, help, and guidance. Men are ignorant and erring, and the supreme importance of Divine interposition is here recognized and unfolded. I. THE PERSONS WHOM GOD ENLIGHTENS AND HELPS . 1 . He instructs sinners. Shows them the right way, and helps them to walk in it. He helps his people, though they are sinners, and in spite of it ( Psalms 25:8 ). The ground of... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 25:13

His soul shall dwell at case; rather, his soul shall dwell in bliss ; i.e. he shall enjoy, while on earth, blessings of every kind. And his seed shall inherit the earth . His posterity after him shall be continued upon the earth, and shall prosper (comp. Psalms 37:11 , Psalms 37:22 , Psalms 37:29 ). There is a tendency in righteousness to "inherit the earth," only held in check by accidental and temporary circumstances. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 25:13

His soul shall dwell at ease - Margin: “shall lodge in goodness.” So the Hebrew. The idea is that of one “at home;” one who finds a comfortable and safe resting place; one who is not a wanderer or a vagrant. The word rendered in the text “at ease,” and in the margin “goodness,” means “good;” and the idea is that of a good or safe condition as compared with that of one who wanders abroad without a shelter, or of one who has lost his way, and has no one to guide him. As contrasted with such an... read more
