Psalm 25:4

4 Lord, tell me your ways. Show me how to live.

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 my God, I trust you. Do not let me be disgraced; do not let my enemies laugh at me.

3 No one who trusts you will be disgraced, but those who sin without excuse will be disgraced.

4 Lord, tell me your ways. Show me how to live.

5 Guide me in your truth, and teach me, my God, my Savior. I trust you all day long.

6 Lord, remember your mercy and love that you have shown since long ago.
