Context of Psalms 25:4
2O my God, in You I trust, so I will not be ashamed, and my enemies will not gloat over me. 3Surely no one who waits for You will be ashamed. But the treacherous without cause will be ashamed. Show me Your ways, Adonai. Teach me Your paths. 5Guide me in Your truth, and teach me, for You are God, my salvation, for You I wait all day. 6Remember, Adonai, Your compassions and Your mercies— for they are from eternity.
