Psalms 25:8, 9 (NAS)
Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He instructs
sinners in the way. He leads the humble in justice, And He teaches the humble
His way.
Psalms 25:8, 9 (NLT)
The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows
the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in what is
right, teaching them his way.
Jehovah, the Lord, is good and excellent.
He is kind and understanding. In Him you will find all of the happiness,
joy, and prosperity that you need. He makes your life pleasant
and agreeable. All that makes you well and bountiful is found in Him. You are
His dearly beloved. He esteems you and shows you His favor.
Everything that Adonai does is always correct and
upright. He is just, proper, and straight-forward. He is righteous and leads
you in the straight path that you should go. He approves of and has made
you right with Him. With Him your way is smooth.
Although you used to sin and miss the right way, the
Lord now teaches and instructs you. He pours out His word upon you as He
pours out the rain. He has purified you from all uncleanness and you no longer
incur guilt. Now as you tread forth on your journey, you do not
wander from the road, for God Almighty shows you how to go.
You are humble and meek before Jehovah, for you know
that without Him, you are weak, poor, and needy. By yourself, you are afflicted
and
wretched. However, you have discovered that
the Lord guides you to make just decisions. He has given you the power to rule
and govern. You are able to do this because He has taught you His ways,
instructing you in what is right, proper, and fitting.
