Salmos 25:10-20

10 Yod Todas las sendas del SEÑOR son misericordia y verdad, para los que guardan su pacto y sus testimonios

11 Caf Por tu Nombre, oh SEÑOR, perdona también mi iniquidad; porque es grande

12 Lámed ¿Quién es el varón que teme al SEÑOR? El le enseñará el camino que ha de escoger

13 Mem Su alma reposará en el bien, y su simiente heredará la tierra

14 Nun El secreto del SEÑOR es para los que le temen; y a ellos hará conocer su pacto

15 Sámec Mis ojos están siempre hacia el SEÑOR; porque él sacará mis pies de la red

16 Ayin Mírame, y ten misericordia de mí; porque estoy solo y pobre

17 Tsade Las angustias de mi corazón se han aumentado; sácame de mis congojas

18 Resh Mira mi aflicción y mi trabajo; y perdona todos mis pecados

19 Resh Mira mis enemigos, que se han multiplicado, y con odio injusto me han aborrecido

20 Sin Guarda mi alma, y líbrame; no sea yo avergonzado, porque en ti confié

Salmos 25:10-20 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.
