Psalms 25:2

"By David. To you, LORD, I lift up my soul."

Key Reflection

This opening line indicates that David is addressing his prayer directly to God and elevating his thoughts above earthly concerns. By lifting up his soul to the Lord, David signifies a posture of humble trust and reliance on divine guidance and protection.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

O my God, I trust in thee -This is the first thought - a feeling that he had true confidence in God, and that in all the duties of life, in all his trials, and in all his hopes for the future, his reliance was on God alone. Let me not be ashamed -That is, let me never be so forsaken by thee as to have occasion for shame that I have thus trusted in thee.
