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 in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.

3 Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.

4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.

5 Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; all day long I wait for You.

6 Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.
