A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

25:1 Unto thee, O LORD. Psalm 25 is essentially an acrostic poem, with each of its twenty-two verses beginning with the successive twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet.


25:1 lift up my soul. Lifting up one’s hands or eyes may give an outward show of piety, but this is meaningless unless one’s soul is lifted up.


25:5 thy truth. “Thy word is truth,” Jesus said (John 17:17) and as He is the living Word, He could also say, “I am...the truth” (John 14:6). As an acrostic, this psalm has a natural emphasis on the very letters of divinely given human language, and thus appropriately emphasizes God’s truth.
