A Promise of Divine Guidance
Commentators see this verse as a direct promise following the confession and forgiveness described earlier in the psalm. While some scholars suggest it's David offering to teach from his experience, most interpret this as God Himself speaking. After forgiving your past, God promises to personally instruct, teach, and guide you in the right path for your future.
