This setting of Psalm 25 was submitted by Yellowhammer Hymns, a musical collaboration based out of Christ Church Presbyterian in Jacksonville, FL. The lyrics were written by Andy Zipf and Chuck Colson; Zipf composed the tune. The interpretation of the psalm considers the Christian’s dependence upon God for deliverance, help, and guidance from a joyous and celebratory perspective. The focus of the interpretation centers on the faithfulness and reliability of our God on whom we call in various forms of trouble, especially the personal and corporate predicament of sin.
