Episode 165: Because It Is Great

Psalm 25 is the first fully alphabetical psalm, a prayer built on the letters of the alphabet by a man whose life had come apart. In this episode, we see why that scaffolding matters when grief makes coherent speech impossible. We watch him lift his soul to God, the exact opposite of the disqualification in Psalm 24, and ask four times in two verses to be taught. He asks God to remember his own mercies and to forget the sins of a youth he was still wincing at decades later. We find a "therefore" that says God's goodness is precisely why he takes sinners as students, paths worn into ruts by mercy, and the boldest sentence in the psalm: pardon my sin, because it is great. Then a man with his eyes up and his feet tangled ends by praying for everybody.
