Psaume 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.

Psaume 25:4 In-Context

2 Mon Dieu, je m'assure en toi; que je ne sois pas rendu confus, que mes ennemis ne se réjouissent pas à mon sujet
3 Certes, aucun de ceux qui s'attendent à toi, ne sera confus; ceux-là seront confus, qui agissent avec perfidie, sans cause.
4 Éternel, fais-moi connaître tes voies, enseigne-moi tes sentiers!
5 Fais-moi marcher dans ta vérité et m'enseigne; car tu es le Dieu de ma délivrance, je m'attends à toi tout le jour.
6 Souviens-toi de tes compassions, ô Éternel, et de tes bontés; car elles sont de tout temps.
