God Must Be the Teacher
Commentators emphasize that the psalmist isn't asking for human instruction but for direct teaching from God. Charles Spurgeon notes that while we forget what others teach, we never forget what God truly teaches. This divine instruction, as Matthew Henry explains, is not just about knowing the words of scripture but having the 'Spirit of wisdom in the heart' to apply them personally.
