Psalm 25:1-5 “By David. To you, LORD, I lift up my soul. My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me. Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause. Show me your ways, LORD. Teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I wait for you all day long.”

In an acrostic Psalm each verse in the Hebrew begins with the succeeding letter of the Hebrew alphabet. There are a few exceptions here, but the basic format of Psalm 25 is an acrostic Psalm. In today’s verses, David reminds us that anyone who lifts up their soul to God and waits on Him won’t be ashamed. Waiting on God means praying to Him. Trusting Him. Following Him. Hoping in Him. And, perhaps most importantly, having a teachable and patient heart.
