Psalm 25:4

4 Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.

Psalm 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.

Psalm 25:4 In-Context

2 O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.

3 Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.

4 Make your steps clear to me, O Lord; give me knowledge of your ways.

5 Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.

6 O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.
