Context of Psalms 25:13
11For Your Name’s sake, Adonai, pardon my guilt, for it is great. 12Who is this man who fears Adonai? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. His soul abides in goodness, and his offspring will inherit the land. 14The secret of Adonai is for those who fear Him. He makes His covenant known to them. 15My eyes are always looking to Adonai, for He will pull my feet out of the net.
