Salmos 25:5-9 NTV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 25:1-7

Here we have David's professions of desire towards God and dependence on him. He often begins his psalms with such professions, not to move God, but to move himself, and to engage himself to answer those professions. I. He professes his desire towards God: Unto thee, O Lord! do I lift up my soul, Ps. 25:1. In the foregoing psalm (Ps. 24:4) it was made the character of a good man that he has not lifted up his soul to vanity; and a call was given to the everlasting gates to lift up their heads... read more

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

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me ,.... Meaning the word of God, the Scriptures of truth; and the Gospel, which is the word of truth, and truth itself, John 17:17 ; and the sense is, either that God would lead him by his Spirit more and more into all truth, as contained in his word; or that he would lead him by it and according to it, that he might form his principles and his conduct more agreeably to it, which is the standard and rule of faith and practice: which leading is by teaching;... read more

Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses ,.... Not the providential mercy and kindness of God, in the care of him in his mother's womb, at the time of his birth, in his nurture and education, and in the preservation of him to the present time; but the special mercy, grace, and love of God in Christ: the sense of the petition is the same with that of Psalm 106:4 ; which are expressed in the plural number, because of the largeness and abundance of it, and because of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:7

Remember not the sins of my youth ,.... Original sin, in which he was born, and the breakings forth of corrupt nature in infancy, he brought into the world with him, together with all the youthful lusts and vanities to which that age is addicted; and sometimes the sins of youth are in some persons remembered by God, and punished in old age; and if not, they are brought to remembrance through the dispensations of Providence: and the people of God are chastised for them then, and are ready to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:8

Good and upright is the Lord ,.... He is essentially, originally, and independently good of himself in his own nature, and he is providentially good to all his creatures; and he is in a way of special grace and mercy good to his own people: and he is "upright", just in himself, righteous in all his ways and works, and faithful in all his promises; and the consideration of these excellent perfections of his encouraged the psalmist to entertain an holy confidence, that his petitions,... read more

The meek will he guide in judgment ,.... Or "the miserable" F26 ענוים "miseros", Gejerus, Michaelis. and afflicted; such as see themselves to be wretched and miserable, lost and undone; and cry out, What shall we do to be saved? and who are meek and lowly, are humbled under a sense of their sins, are poor in spirit, and of broken and contrite hearts; these the Lord will guide by his Spirit into the truth, as it is in Jesus; even the great truth of salvation by him; and in the way of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:5

On thee do I wait - This is the line in which ו vau , the sixth letter in the order of the alphabet, is lost; for the line begins with א aleph , אותך othecha , "on thee." But four of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS. have ואותך veothecha , "And upon thee." This restores the lost ו vau , which signifies "and." The Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Arabic, Ethiopic, and Anglo-Saxon, preserve it. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:6

Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy loving-kindness - The word רחמים rachamim , means the commiseration that a man feels in his bowels at the sight of distress. The second word, חסדים chasadim , signifies those kindnesses which are the offspring of a profusion of benevolence. They have been ever of old - Thou wert ever wont to display thyself as a ceaseless fountain of good to all thy creatures. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 25:7

Remember not the sins of my youth - Those which I have committed through inconsiderateness, and heat of passion. According to thy mercy - As it is worthy of thy mercy to act according to the measure, the greatness, and general practice of thy mercy; so give me an abundant pardon, a plentiful salvation. For thy goodness' sake - Goodness is the nature of God; mercy flows from that goodness. read more
