Footnotes

  1. 29 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.
  2. 30 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).
  3. 31 Heb “because of those who watch me [with evil intent].” See also Pss 5:8; 54:5; 56:2.
