Psalms 25:12
10 All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.
Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.
13 His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.
