Psalm 25:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 For the sake of your name,[a] O Lord,
pardon my iniquity, great though it be.
12 Who, then, is the man that fears the Lord?
He will be shown the path he should choose.[b]
13 He will enjoy lasting prosperity,
and his descendants will inherit the land.[c]

- Psalm 25:12 The path he should choose: or “the path chosen for him.”
- Psalm 25:13 Inherit the land: according to the teaching of the sages, God rewards the righteous here below by bestowing on them earthly goods that he withholds from the wicked (see Ps 37:9, 29; Prov 19:23). To this is added the returned exiles’ hope for the enjoyment of the land of their ancestors (see Isa 57:13; 60:21; 65:9).
