This verse should begin with the letter Bethin the word for in thee. It has been suggested that the first word O my Godwas disregarded in the alphabetic arrangement; but it is more probable that it originally belonged to the second line of the preceding verse (so codd. א BA of the LXX), which has now been lost or misplaced. Otherwise it must be omitted. Psalms 25:2 then forms a proper distich:

In thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed:

Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Cp. Psalms 25:20; Psalms 22:5; Psalms 31:1; Psalms 31:17.
