Psalm 25

Verse 1-3

I love how this Psalm starts out. The Psalmist tells God what he will produce or rather what he
will believe. He declares I commit my life and I will depend on you.
Verse 2: the Psalmist asks God to not allow disgrace.
Verse 3: He realizes that all who trusts because disgrace comes from deceivers.

Verse 4-5

I love how humble the psalmist is:
Verse 4: he is receptive to being taught the Godly path
Verse 5: He understands he needs to be lead to the truth, he sees he does not perceive the truth without God

Verse 5-6-7

In these verses, the Psalmist reminds God of his tenderness and boundless love.
My favorite part of this Psalm is in verse 7, “Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,”
He is asking God to read through the lenses of unfailing love, not the lenses of judgment of past offenses.

Verse 8-11

In these verses, The Psalmist tells what he perceives are the Components of God.

• Good
• Does right
• Leads the humble while teaching
• Leads with unfailing love and faithfulness
• Forgives

Verse 12-15

Tells what God will accomplish to his friends whose minds are set on Him

• He will determine the correct path
• They will thrive in prosperity
• Their children will succeed in the land
• He teaches
• He rescues

Verse 16-20

The Psalmist now tells God his concerns. In this Psalm, we can obtain the order of how prayers are to be structured.

• The Psalmist first tells God what he, the psalmist will do
• Open to doing Gods will
• Reminds God of who the Psalmist knows about God
• Reminds God of His characteristics
• Reminds God, that he is a friend and fixes his eyes on God
•      The Psalmist tells God his troubles

The Psalmist ends with this statement in verse 21, “May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.”
