Psalms 25:12-22 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

I do not interrupt the reading through the whole of these verses; their plain and obvious meaning they carry along with them. They bear a decided testimony to divine faithfulness, and man's necessities. And though the enemy of God's people doth wage open and secret war against God's heritage, yet Israel shall be ultimately successful, in a full triumph through God's deliverance. Isaiah 45:17.

Psalms 25:12-22

12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

13 His soul shall dwella at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluckb my feet out of the net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruelc hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.

22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
