Salmos 25:17-18 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 25:15-22

David, encouraged by the promises he had been meditating upon, here renews his addresses to God, and concludes the psalm, as he began, with professions of dependence upon God and desire towards him. I. He lays open before God the calamitous condition he was in. His feet were in the net, held fast and entangled, so that he could not extricate himself out of his difficulties, Ps. 25:15. He was desolate and afflicted, Ps. 25:16. It is common for those that are afflicted to be desolate; their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:17

The troubles of my heart are enlarged ,.... His enemies being increased, which troubled him; the floods of ungodly men made him afraid; the waters of affliction were come into his soul, and spread themselves, and threatened to overwhelm him: or it may be rendered, as by some, "troubles have enlarged my heart" F8 הרחיבו "dilataverunt cor meum", Vatablus; "reddiderunt cor meum latius", Gussetius, p. 786. ; made him wiser, increased his knowledge and experience; see Psalm 119:67 ; but... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:18

Look upon mine affliction and my pain ,.... The "affliction" was the rebellion of his subjects against him, at the head of which was his own son; and the "pain" was the uneasiness of mind it gave him; or the "labour" F11 עמלי "laborem meum", Pagninus, Mortanus, Junius & Tremellius, &c.; , as the word may be rendered; the toil and fatigue of body he was exercised with, he flying from place to place; and he desires that God would look upon all this with an eye of pity and... read more

The troubles of may heart are enlarged - The evils of our captive state, instead of lessening, seem to multiply, and each to be extended. 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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:17

Verse 17 17.The troubles of my heart are enlarged. In this verse he acknowledges not only that he had to contend outwardly with his enemies and the troubles which they occasioned him, but that he was also afflicted inwardly with sorrow and anguish of heart. It is also necessary to observe the manner of expression which he here employs, and by which he intimates that the weight and number of his trials had accumulated to such an extent that they filled his whole heart, even as a flood of waters... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:18

Verse 18 18.Look upon mine affliction. By repeating these complaints so frequently, he plainly shows that the calamities with which he was assailed were not some slight and trivial evils. And this ought to be carefully marked by us, so that when trials and afflictions shall have been measured out to us after the same manner, we may be enabled to lift up our souls to God in prayer; for the Holy Spirit has set before our view this representation, that our minds may not fail us under the multitude... 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 25:15-22

There are three stages deicted here In the godly man's life. I. THE GODLY MAN IN FEAR . Trouble comes. Perhaps there has been over-confidence, or unwatchfulness, or entanglement with the things of the world. Our feet are caught in the net. Enemies scoff. We are harassed and perplexed. Our efforts to relieve ourselves may make things worse. It is hard to be alone when one falleth; hut it is harder when troubles increase till they are heavier than can be borne, and there... read more
