25:4 Make me understand your ways, O Lord!

Teach me your paths! ¹ 

Mazmur 27:11

27:11 Teach me how you want me to live; ² 

lead me along a level path ³  because of those who wait to ambush me! ⁴ 

[25:4]  ¹ sn Teach me your paths. In this context the Lord’s “ways” and “paths” refer to the moral principles which the Lord prescribes for his followers. See vv. 8-10.

[27:11]  ² tn Heb “teach me your way.” The Lord’s “way” refers here to the moral principles which he expects the psalmist to follow. See Ps 25:4.

[27:11]  ³ sn The level path refers to God’s moral principles (see the parallel line), which, if followed, will keep the psalmist blameless before his accusers (see v. 12).

[27:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “because of those who watch me [with evil intent].” See also Pss 5:8; 54:5; 56:2.
