    Psalms 25

    This psalm is full of devout affection to God, the out-goings of holy desires towards his favour and grace and the lively actings of faith in his promises. We may learn out of it, I. What it is to pray, Psalms 25:1, 25:15. II. What we must pray for, the pardon of sin (Psalms 25:6, 25:7, 25:18), direction in the way of duty (Psalms 25:4, 25:5), the favour of God (Psalms 25:16), deliverance out of our troubles (Psalms 25:17, 25:18), preservation from our enemies (Psalms 25:20, 25:21), and the salvation of the church of God, Psalms 25:22. III. What we may plead in prayer, our confidence in God (Psalms 25:2, 25:3, 25:5, 25:20, 25:21), our distress and the malice of our enemies (Psalms 25:17, 25:19), our sincerity, Psalms 25:21. IV. What precious promises we have to encourage us in prayer, of guidance and instruction (Psalms 25:8, 25:9, 25:12), the benefit of the covenant (Psalms 25:10), and the pleasure of communion with God, Psalms 25:13, 25:14. It is easy to apply the several passages of this psalm to ourselves in the singing of it; for we have often troubles, and always sins, to complain of at the throne of grace.MHBCC 504.1
