From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Remember not the sins of my youth -In strong contrast with God, the psalmist brings forward his own conduct and life. He could ask of GodPsalms 25:6to remember His own acts - what “He himself” had done; but could not ask him to remember His conduct - His past life. He could only pray that this might be forgotten. He did not wish it to come into remembrance before God; he could not ask that God would deal with him according to that. He prays, therefore, that he might not be visited as he advanced in life with the fruits of his conduct in early years, but that all the offences of that period of his life might be forgiven and forgotten.
