John Trapp on Psalms 25:2

Verſ. 2. O my God, I truſt in thee] I pray in faith, which is as the fire, and my prayer as the flame that ariſeth out of it. Faith is the foundation of prayer; and prayer is the fervency of faith. Now David knew that the hand of faith never knocketh at the gate of grace in vain.

Let mee not bee aſhamed] Shame is the Daughter of diſappointment. This David deprecateth; Quae que repulſa gravis; ſee Job 6.20.

Let not mine enemies triumph over mee] By ſaying, that I pray to no purpoſe, as Rabſhakeh did, Iſa. 35.6. I ſay (ſaith Hezekiah) I have words of my lipps, prayer; prayer? but alaſſe, what's that more than empty words, an aiery nothing? Counſel and ſtrength are for the battel. Thus Hee.
