Psalms 25:4

4 Make me know your ways, O Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

Psalms 25:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 25:4

Show me thy ways, O Lord
Either those which the Lord himself took and walked in; as those of creation and providence, in which he has displayed his power, wisdom, and goodness; and which are desirable to be known by his people, and require divine instruction and direction; and particularly his ways of grace, mercy, and truth, and the methods he has taken for the salvation of his people, both in eternity and in time; or those ways which he orders and directs his people to walk in; namely, the paths of duty, the ways of his worship and ordinances; a greater knowledge of which good men desire to have, as well as more grace to enable them to walk more closely and constantly in them;

teach me thy paths;
a petition the same with the other, in different words.

Psalms 25:4 In-Context

2 O my God, I trust you; let me not be put to shame. Do not let my enemies exult over me.

3 Indeed, none who wait for you should be put to shame. Those who betray without cause should be put to shame.

4 Make me know your ways, O Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

5 Cause me to walk in your truth and teach me, because you [are] the God of my salvation. I await you {all day long}.

6 Remember your compassion, O Yahweh, and your acts of loyal love, because they [are] from of old.
