Salmos 25:17-22 RVA

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:19

Consider mine enemies ,.... Or "look" F13 ראה "vide", Pagninus, Montanus, Musculus, Cocceius, Michaelis "aspice", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "intuere", Gejerus. upon them; but with another kind of look; so as he looked through the pillar of fire upon the Egyptians, and troubled them, Exodus 14:24 ; with a look of wrath and vengeance. The arguments he uses are taken both from the quantity and quality of his enemies, their number and their nature; for they are many ; the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:20

O keep my soul ,.... Or "life" F14 נפשי "animam meam", i.e. "vitam meam", Gejerus. , which was in danger, his enemies seeking for it; wherefore he applies to God that gave it, and who had hitherto held him in it, to preserve it. God is the keeper of has people in a spiritual sense; they cannot keep themselves from sin, Satan, and the world; but he is able to keep them from falling, and therefore they pray to him that he would keep them; and they have reason to believe they shall be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:21

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me ,.... Meaning either his own, as in Psalm 7:8 ; and then the sense is, either that God would preserve him, seeing he had acted the faithful and upright part in the government of the people of Israel, and they had rebelled against him without a cause; see Psalm 78:72 ; or that those might be continued with him, that he might not be led aside by the corruptions of his heart, and the temptations of Satan, and by the provocations of his rebellious... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 25:22

Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. David was not only concerned for himself, but for the whole nation of Israel, which was involved in trouble through this unnatural rebellion of his son, and many of his subjects; and no doubt he may have a further view to the redemption of the church of God, the spiritual Israel, by the Messiah; and his sense may be, that God would send the promised Redeemer and Saviour, to redeem his people from all their iniquities; from the law, its curses... 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
