Psalms 25:12-13. What man is he that feareth the Lord Whosoever he be, whether Jew or Gentile, whether comparatively innocent or a great sinner, which is my case: him shall he teach in the way he shall choose The way which God chooseth, or appointeth and approveth, or which the good man should, or ought to choose.

Psalms 25:14. The secret of the Lord Hebrew, סוד , sod, his fixed counsel, or design, is with them that fear him To direct and guide them in the right way; to show them their duty in all conditions, and the way to eternal salvation. “The greatest happiness of man in this world,” says Dr. Horne, “is to know the fixed and determinate counsels of God concerning the human race, and to understand the covenant of redemption.” This, though it was revealed, yet might be called a secret, ... read more

Psalms 25:15-16. Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord My trust is in him, and my expectation of relief is from him only.
