Psalms25:12
Verſ. 12. What man is hee that feareth the Lord?] This queſtion implieth, firſt, a paucity of ſuch, as Hoſ. 14. ult. ſecondly, the felicity of ſuch as out of a reverentiall fear of God, ſue to him for pardon of ſin, and ſeek to bee made his ſervants. Vatah. Utitur exclamatione Mol. O quanta eſt felicitas iſtius viri! O the heaped up happineſſe of ſuch a rare man! David admireth it here; and well hee may; for hee hath cloſe communion with God, and ſweet communication of Chriſts ſecrets, as followeth.
Him ſhall hee teach in the way that hee ſhall chuſe] i.e. That the good man ſhall pitch upon. God will direct him in all dealings to make a good choice; and will give good ſucceſſe. This is not in a mans own power to do, Jer. 10.23. But the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and hee delighteth in his way, Pſal. 37.23. Hee was a pillar of fire, and cloud to the Iſraelites, Exod. 14.19. and carefully choſe out their way for them; not the neareſt alway, but yet the ſafeſt.
