What Does Psalms 25:14 Mean?
The 'secret of the Lord' (sod Adonai) refers to God's intimate counsel or hidden purpose—the deep things of God that come not from observation but from revelation. Only the God-fearers are admitted to this inner circle. It is a gift of relationship, not information.
God shows His covenant to those who fear Him, meaning He reveals its promises, requirements, and protective nature. This is not mere doctrinal knowledge but lived understanding—an experiential knowledge of God's faithfulness and commitment to His people.
Psalms 25:14 in the Original Language
