<– Psalm 24<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 26 –><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 25 is an acrostic psalm, each verse beginning with the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Primarily the words of an individual (25:1-21), it nevertheless concludes with a corporate prayer (25:22), reminding us that as our King prays, we pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key question raised by the psalm: If Jesus was sinless, how can he pray this psalm and lead us in this prayer? As the King who bears our sins for us, Jesus can lead us in penitence. He \u2018was made to be sin\u2019 for us (2 Corinthians 5:21), \u2018numbered with the transgressors\u2019 (Isaiah 53:12). He so identified with his people that he can lead us in expressing our sorrow for sin, our confession of sin and our repentant turning from sin. Jesus never sinned but as our mediator he took personal responsibility for our sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Christians we sing this song confident that because God relieves the King of \u2018the troubles of his heart\u2019 (25:17) he will deliver all God\u2019s people from their troubles (25:22). United to Christ by faith, we express our trust in God just like he did (25:1-3); led by the Spirit we voice a desire to walk in the ways of right living (25:4-15); we also confess our sins and pray for forgiveness (25:7, 11, 18) whilst we wait for rescue\/the kingdom to come in all its fullness (25:16-21).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
