Salmos 25:1-11

1 Salmo 25
Salmo de David.
Oh Señor
, te entrego mi vida.

2 ¡Confío en ti, mi Dios!
No permitas que me avergüencen,
ni dejes que mis enemigos se regodeen en mi derrota.

3 Nadie que confíe en ti será jamás avergonzado,
pero la deshonra les llega a los que tratan de engañar a otros.

4 Muéstrame la senda correcta, oh Señor
;
señálame el camino que debo seguir.

5 Guíame con tu verdad y enséñame,
porque tú eres el Dios que me salva.
Todo el día pongo en ti mi esperanza.

6 Recuerda, oh Señor
, tu compasión y tu amor inagotable,
que has mostrado desde hace siglos.

7 No te acuerdes de los pecados de rebeldía durante mi juventud.
Acuérdate de mí a la luz de tu amor inagotable,
porque tú eres misericordioso, oh Señor
.

8 El Señor
es bueno y hace lo correcto;
les muestra el buen camino a los que andan descarriados.

9 Guía a los humildes para que hagan lo correcto;
les enseña su camino.

10 El Señor
guía con fidelidad y amor inagotable
a todos los que obedecen su pacto y cumplen sus exigencias.

11 Por el honor de tu nombre, oh Señor
,
perdona mis pecados, que son muchos.

Salmos 25:1-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 25

\\<<[A Psalm] of David>>\\. This is the first of the psalms which is written in an alphabetical order, or in which the first word of every verse begins with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet in order, though it is not strictly and regularly observed; the reason of this manner of writing is not very obvious; the {r} Jews confess their ignorance of it; it may be to engage the attention to what is said, or to assist the memory in laying it up, and retaining it there. The occasion of the psalm seems to be the troubles David was in on account of an unnatural rebellion raised against him by some of his subjects, at the head of which was his own son Absalom; he speaks of himself as in a net, and in great affliction, distress, and trouble, by reason of his enemies, Ps 25:15-18; and as being brought to a sense of his former sins, for which he desires pardon, Ps 25:7,11. {r} Kimchi in loc.
