Context of Psalms 25:11

9The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way. 10All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. 12What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way [that] he should choose. 13His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth.

Commentaries on Psalms 25:11

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon - I have sinned; I need mercy; there is no reason why thou shouldst show it, but what thou drawest from the goodness of thy own nature.Read the comment

There are, doubtless, other reasons why He pardons sin…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-14Verses 8-14 We are all sinners; and Christ came into the world to save sinners, to teach sinners, to call sinners to repentance. We value a promise by the character of him that makes it; we therefore depend upon God's promises. All the paths of the Lord, that is, all his promises and all his providences, are mercy and truth. In all God's dealings his people may see his mercy displayed, and his word fulfilled, whatever afflictions they are now exercised…Read the comment
