Mazmur 25:4

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

Teach me your paths! ¹ 

Mazmur 25:12

25:12 The Lord shows his faithful followers

the way they should live. ² 

[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.

[25:12]  ² tn Heb “Who is this man, the one who fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way he should choose.” The singular (note “man”) is representative here (see v. 14, where the plural is used), and has thus been translated as a plural (“followers…they”).
