20 Protect me[a] and deliver me!
Please do not let me be humiliated,

Footnotes
- Psalm 25:20 tn Or “my life.”
- 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.
