Psalms 25:12 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

What man is he - Who is he. The statement in this verse is intended to include every man; or to be universal. Wherever one is found who has the character here referred to, or whoever he may be, of him what is here affirmed will be true, that God will lead him in the way that he shall choose.

That feareth the Lord - That is, a true worshipper of Yahweh, or that is truly a pious man: Psalms 5:7. “Him shall he teach.” He will guide, or instruct him. See Psalms 25:9.

In the way that he shall choose - The way that the person ought to choose; or, in other words, in the right way. It is not the way that God shall choose, but the way that the pious person ought to choose: God will so instruct him that he shall find the true path.

Psalms 25:12

12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
