Footnotes

  1. Psalm 25:14 The Lord manifests himself to those who fear him: some translations have “The Lord manifests his secret to those who fear him,” which is to be understood as divine intimacy and friendship (see Ps 73:28; Ex 33:11; Job 29:4; Prov 3:32; Jn 15:5) united with the understanding of divine things (see Jer 16:21; 31:34; Hos 6:6).
  2. Psalm 25:16 Renewed prayer for relief from distress and foes.

14 The Lord confides(A) in those who fear him;
    he makes his covenant known(B) to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the Lord,(C)
    for only he will release my feet from the snare.(D)

16 Turn to me(E) and be gracious to me,(F)
    for I am lonely(G) and afflicted.
