Psalms 25:9
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

Study Note
The promise 'the meek will he guide in judgment and the meek will he teach his way' is embedded in Psalm 25's acrostic structure, appearing near the center of the alphabetic poem as one of its key theological claims about divine pedagogy. The Hebrew anawim ('meek/humble/afflicted') denotes those who recognize their dependence on God rather than their own social resources — making this promise an inversion of the world's educational systems, which favor the powerful. Jesus' 'blessed are the meek' (Matthew 5:5: 'they shall inherit the earth') draws on the same tradition as Psalm 37:11, where meekness and earth-inheritance are connected. The double occurrence of 'meek' in this verse may be an intentional emphasis within the psalm's alphabetic structure, highlighting divine preference for the humble as a central theological claim.
