PSALM 25

TEACH ME YOUR PATHS

Aware that following God’s wisdom will bring him blamelessness and closeness to God, David asks God to teach him the way of righteousness. David asks God to focus on His steadfast love instead of David’s past transgressions.  

In verse 14, David describes the friendship of the Lord as a secret council for those with whom His covenant is made known, and makes it known that he wants a relationship with God that is close and intimate. David ends the psalm by sharing his troubles with God and asking Him to redeem the nation of Israel. 

Psalm 25:1 - To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
