Psalm 25:21-22

New English Translation

²¹May integrity and godliness protect me,
for I rely on you.
²²O God, rescue^[a] Israel
from all their distress!^[b]

Psalm 25:22 tn Or “redeem.”
Psalm 25:22 tn Heb “his distresses.”sn O God, rescue Israel from all their distress. It is possible that the psalmist speaks on behalf of the nation throughout this entire psalm. Another option is that v. 22 is a later addition to the psalm which applies an original individual lament to the covenant community. If so, it may reflect an exilic setting.
