Mazmur 25:22

25:22 O God, rescue ¹  Israel

from all their distress! ² 

[25:22]  ¹ tn Or “redeem.”

[25:22]  ² tn Heb “his distresses.”

[25:22]  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.
