Psalm 25:12-15

Psalm 25:12 Who is this person who fears Yahveh? He will show him the road he should choose.

Psalm 25:13 His soul will live well, and his descendants will inherit the land.

Psalm 25:14 The secret counsel of Yahveh is for those who fear him, and he reveals his covenant to them.

Psalm 25:15 My eyes are always on Yahveh, because he will pull my feet out of the net.

deliverance and direction

I pondered over the meaning of this secret counsel of Yahveh. What particularly did the psalmist refer to? I see an emphasis on the feet here, as a symbol for the direction one should take in life (the road) and for deliverance from traps (the net). The secret counsel is a word from God that goes beyond the principles everyone should live by. It is information to rescue, and legacy.

LORD, deliver us, and set us on the right road.
