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 (Psa 25:1, Psa 25:15). II. What we must pray for, the pardon of sin (Psa 25:6, Psa 25:7, Psa 25:18), direction in the way of duty (Psa 25:4, Psa 25:5), the favour of God (Psa 25:16), deliverance out of our troubles (Psa 25:17, Psa 25:18), preservation from our enemies (Psa 25:20, Psa 25:21), and the salvation of the church of God (Psa 25:22). III. What we may plead in prayer, our confidence in God (Psa 25:2, Psa 25:3, Psa 25:5, Psa 25:20, Psa 25:21), our distress and the malice of our enemies (Psa 25:17, Psa 25:19), our sincerity (Psa 25:21). IV. What precious promises we have to encourage us in prayer, of guidance and instruction (Psa 25:8, Psa 25:9, Psa 25:12), the benefit of the covenant (Psa 25:10), and the pleasure of communion with God (Psa 25:13, Psa 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. A psalm of David.

Teach Me Your Paths
1A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, lift I vp my soule. 2My God, I trust in thee: let me not be confounded: let not mine enemies reioyce ouer mee. 3So all that hope in thee, shall not be ashamed: but let them be confounded, that transgresse without cause. 4Shew me thy waies, O Lord, and teache me thy paths. 5Leade me foorth in thy trueth, and teache me: for thou art the God of my saluation: in thee doe I trust all the day. 6Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, and thy louing kindnesse: for they haue beene for euer. 7Remember not the sinnes of my youth, nor my rebellions, but according to thy kindenesse remember thou me, euen for thy goodnesse sake, O Lord. 8Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way. 9Them that be meeke, will hee guide in iudgement, and teach the humble his way. 10All the pathes of the Lord are mercie and trueth vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies. 11For thy Names sake, O Lord, be merciful vnto mine iniquitie, for it is great. 12What man is he that feareth the Lord? him wil he teache the way that hee shall chuse. 13His soule shall dwell at ease, and his seede shall inherite the land. 14The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding. 15Mine eyes are euer towarde the Lord: for he will bring my feete out of the net. 16Turne thy face vnto mee, and haue mercie vpon me: for I am desolate and poore. 17The sorowes of mine heart are enlarged: drawe me out of my troubles. 18Looke vpon mine affliction and my trauel, and forgiue all my sinnes. 19Beholde mine enemies, for they are manie, and they hate me with cruell hatred. 20Keepe my soule, and deliuer me: let me not be confounded, for I trust in thee. 21Let mine vprightnes and equitie preserue me: for mine hope is in thee. 22Deliuer Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
