Psalm 25
1. David's confidence in prayer
7. He prays for remission of sins
16. and for help in affliction














Remember, O LORD
The plea for God to "remember" is a profound invocation, calling upon the divine to act in accordance with His eternal nature. The Hebrew root for "remember" is "zakar," which implies not just recalling but also acting upon that memory. In the biblical context, when God remembers, it often leads to action, such as deliverance or blessing. This request is not because God forgets, but it is a way for the psalmist to express a deep yearning for God's intervention based on His covenant promises.

Your compassion
The term "compassion" is derived from the Hebrew word "racham," which is closely related to the word for "womb," suggesting a deep, nurturing love akin to that of a mother for her child. This imagery conveys a sense of tender care and mercy. In the historical context of Israel, God's compassion is a recurring theme, often highlighted in times of distress and repentance, where His mercy triumphs over judgment.

and loving devotion
"Loving devotion" translates the Hebrew word "chesed," a rich term that encompasses steadfast love, mercy, and faithfulness. It is a covenantal word, reflecting God's unwavering commitment to His people. Throughout the Old Testament, "chesed" is a defining characteristic of God's relationship with Israel, underscoring His loyalty and grace despite human unfaithfulness. This phrase reassures believers of God's enduring love and reliability.

for they are from age to age
This phrase emphasizes the eternal nature of God's attributes. The Hebrew expression "from age to age" (often rendered as "from everlasting to everlasting") highlights the timelessness and unchanging nature of God's compassion and loving devotion. In a historical and scriptural context, this serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness throughout generations, providing hope and assurance that His character remains constant amidst the changing circumstances of life.

(6) Ever of old.--Better, from ancient times

Verse 6. - Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy loving-kindnesses. Past mercies form a ground for the expectation of future blessings. God's character cannot change; his action as one time will always be consistent and harmonious with his action at another. If he has been kind and merciful to David in the past, David may count on his continuing the same in the future. For they have been ever of old. Not lately only, or to David only, have his mercies been shown, but through all past time, to all his servants, from of old.
