Haydock's commentary
In thee. Hebrew bec. Thus the second verse will properly begin with b, (Capel; Houbigant) though the Jews place my God first, as it is in the Vulgate, Deus meus, in te, &c. (Haydock) Ashamed. Septuagint Compl. adds, "for ever."

The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm XXV
2. “Unto Thee, O Lord, have I lift up my soul” ( ver. 1 ): with spiritual longing have I lift up the soul, that was trodden down on the earth with carnal longings. “O my God, in Thee I trust, I shall not be ashamed” ( ver. 2 ). O my God, from trusting in myself I was brought even to this weakness of the flesh; and I who on abandoning God wished to be as God, fearing death from the smallest insect, was in derision ashamed for my pride; now, therefore, “in Thee I trust, I shall not be ashamed.”
