Psalms 25:13
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.
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.
15 My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
