Psalms 25:12
Compare all
10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth,
To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
11 aFor Your name’s sake, O Lord,
Pardon my iniquity, for it is great. 
12 Who is the man that fears the Lord?
aHim shall1 He teach in the way He chooses. 
13 aHe himself shall dwell in1 prosperity,
And bhis descendants shall inherit the earth. 
14 aThe secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him,
And He will show them His covenant. 
15 aMy eyes are ever toward the Lord,
For He shall1 pluck my feet out of the net. 
16 aTurn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me,
For I am1 desolate and afflicted.

Psalms 25:12

What man is he - Who is he. The statement in this verse is intended to include every man; or to be universal. Wherever one is found who has the character here referred to, or whoever he may be, of him what is here affirmed will be true, that God will lead him in the way that he shall choose.

That feareth the Lord - That is, a true worshipper of Yahweh, or that is truly a pious man: Psalms 5:7. "Him shall he teach." He will guide, or instruct him. See Psalms 25:9.

In the way that he shall choose - The way that the person ought to choose; or, in other words, in the right way. It is not the way that God shall choose, but the way that the pious person ought to choose: God will so instruct him that he shall find the true path.
