Psalm 25:4

4 Make your ways known to me, O LORD, and teach me your paths.

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

3 No one who waits for you will ever be put to shame, but all who are unfaithful will be put to shame.

4 Make your ways known to me, O LORD, and teach me your paths.

5 Lead me in your truth and teach me because you are God, my savior. I wait all day long for you.

6 Remember, O LORD, your compassionate and merciful deeds. They have existed from eternity.
