Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
David does not waver and gaze about like the heathen, seeking help from the world while forsaking God; he directs all his desires and prayers to God alone. Nothing is more opposed to true prayer than to waver between the creature and the Creator.

Commenting on Psalm 25:8
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
