This psalm is written by the psalmist David, recognizing that salvation is in the Lord. Therefore, he asks God to help him in his path and guide him in His truth.
That is why we see the words of this great man of God saying, “You are the God of my salvation.” Since his election, God had always accompanied the psalmist.
These are words that show a man grateful for what God has done in his life, recognizing the power and wonderful mercy of God.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Psalm 25:5
“Teach me your truth and guide me.” As children of the Lord, we must always ask Him to guide us in His ways, to help us remain in Him, because without Him we cannot take safe and firm steps.
David, as king of the people of Israel and appointed by God, had to continue asking the Lord and try to do everything that God ordered him. We can see that at the end of verse twenty he says “guard me and guide me, lest I be put to shame.”
Let us humbly pray to the Lord to guide us in His ways. Let us not forget that He is the God of our salvation and that in His ways we are safe. May He guide us in every journey of our lives.
