This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The second Acrostic Psalm (see App-63.) The omission of (Koph) makes twenty-one letters (7x3) instead of twenty-two, and marks off one verse (Psa_25:11) as central, which is the first confession of sin in the Psalms; thus linking on Repentance to Suffering and Resurrection (Psa_16:22), as in Luk_24:44-47. The double (Heb. character) (A=Aleph) in Psa_25:1-2 connects the looking up of the worshipper with the double (Heb. character) (R=Resh) of Psa_25:18-19, which speaks of the looking down of Jehovah. These two are linked on to Psalm 25 by the Selah of Psa_24:10 and Psa_24:4. See note on Selah (Psa_24:10).
