Psalm 25 puts us once again in the company of David, who has lessons to teach about how we should pray. How we are reconciled, how we are restored through the integrity and uprightness of God, whose integrity and uprightness is above reproach.

He also admonishes the shame out of our lives and encourages us up to lift up our souls, bare and raw before an almighty God who knows our ugly anyway, and reconciles us in his mercy and grace.
