Commentaries on Psalms 25:18
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 18Look upon mine affliction - See my distressed condition, and thy eye will affect thy heart. Forgive all my sins - My sins are the cause of all my sufferings; forgive these. This is the verse which should begin with the letter ק koph ; but, instead of it, we have ר resh both here, where it should not be, and in the next verse where it should be. Dr. Kennicott reads קומה kumah, "arise," and Houbigant, קצר ketsar, "cut short." The word which began with ק…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 18Look upon mine affliction and my pain - See Psalm 25:16. This is a repetition of earnest pleading - as if God still turned away from him, and did not deign to regard him.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-22Verses 15-22 The psalmist concludes, as he began, with expressing dependence upon God, and desire toward him. It is good thus to hope, and quietly to wait for the salvation of the Lord. And if God turns to us, no matter who turns from us. He pleads his own integrity. Though guilty before God, yet, as to his enemies, he had the testimony of conscience that he had done them no wrong. God would, at length, give Israel rest from all their enemies round about…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 17-18The psalmist finds no relief (see Psalms 4:1; 13:1–2) as his problems worsen. He connects his anguish to sin but does not explain the nature of his sin (see Psalm 25:7, 11).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 16-1916-19. A series of earnest appeals for aid because God had seemed to desert him (compare Psa 13:1; 17:13, &c.), his sins oppressed him, his enemies had enlarged his troubles and were multiplied, increasing in hate and violence (Psa 9:8; 18:48).Read the comment
