Notes

Psalms 25:13

prosperity: See Psalm 23:6.
inherit the land: Unlike the wicked, who will perish (Psalm 1:6), the godly have a secure future. In the end, God will bless them, and their blessings will last (see Psalm 37:9, 11, 22, 29, 34; Isaiah 57:13; Matthew 5:5).

Psalms 25:12–15

Those who fear the Lord will receive further instruction and experience God’s presence (Psalm 25:14) and blessing (25:13).

Psalms 25:1–22

This personal lament includes wisdom teachings and a community lament. It starts and ends with a declaration of trust in the Lord (Psalm 25:1–3, 15–22). The psalmist prays for guidance (Psalm 25:4–7) and urges the godly to live wisely (25:12–14).

In addition to the enemies who trouble him, the psalmist confesses his sins(Psalm 25:7, 11, 18) as part of his distress. Trust grows by understanding God's nature: He is compassionate, faithful, and good (Psalm 25:8–10).

Psalms 23:1–28:9

These psalms develop the importance of:

integrity (Psalms 25:4–7, 12–14, 21; 26:6, 11; 27:7–12),
God's care as a shepherd (Psalms 23:1; 28:9),
God's guidance (Psalms 23:2–3; 25:5; 27:11),
God's goodness (Psalms 23:6; 25:7–8; 27:13), and
living in his house (Psalms 23:6; 26:8; 27:4, 8).
