11 Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
11 Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
11 Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.
11 Train me, God, to walk straight; then I'll follow your true path. Put me together, one heart and mind; then, undivided, I'll worship in joyful fear.
11 Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.
11 Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 86:11
Commentary on Psalm 86:8-17
(Read Psalm 86:8-17)
Our God alone possesses almighty power and infinite love. Christ is the way and the truth. And the believing soul will be more desirous to be taught the way and the truth. And the believing soul will be more desirous to be taught the way and the truth of God, in order to walk therein, than to be delivered out of earthly distress. Those who set not the Lord before them, seek after believers' souls; but the compassion, mercy, and truth of God, will be their refuge and consolation. And those whose parents were the servants of the Lord, may urge this as a plea why he should hear and help them. In considering David's experience, and that of the believer, we must not lose sight of Him, who though he was rich, for our sakes became poor, that we through his poverty might be rich.
