Context of Psalms 86:13
11Teach me your way, Lord, and I will live by your truth. Give me an undivided mind to fear your name. 12I will praise you with all my heart, Lord my God, and will honor your name forever.

They do not let you guide them. 15But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth.
