Psalm 25:18 WEB

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 25:18

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

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 25:18

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

The troubles of the righteous. The two previous sections of the psalm express trust in the Divine help and prayer for guidance. From the fifteenth verse we see the reasons of the urgency of his prayer. The friends and the enemies of God are in conflict in this world, and the psalmist is suffering at the hands of the wicked, and needs the interposition of God. The troubles of the righteous. I. EVIL COUNSELS ARE SET IN MOTION AGAINST HIM . ( Psalms 25:15 .) "A net is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 25:17-18

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. The affliction, of whatever kind it may have been, was regarded by David as a punishment sent on him for his sins. Of his sins he was at this time deeply conscious ( Psalms 25:7 , Psalms 25:11 ) and deeply repentant. Probably they included his great sin (see the comment on Psalms 25:11 ). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 25:18

Look upon mine affliction and my pain - See Psalms 25:16. This is a repetition of earnest pleading - as if God still turned away from him, and did not deign to regard him. In trouble and distress piety thus pleads with God, and repeats the earnest supplication for His help. Though God seems not to regard the prayer, faith does not fail, but renews the supplication, confident that He will still hear and save.And forgive all my sins - The mind, as above remarked, connects trouble and sin... read more
