Notes on verse:

The statement in this verse is intended to include every man; or to be universal. Wherever one is found who has the character here referred to, or whoever he may be, of him what is here affirmed will be true, that God will lead him in the way that he shall choose. This (Compare Psalms 15, 24), serves as an introductory vehicle to the hallmarks of genuine discipleship.

“That feareth the Lord”: That is, a true worshipper of Yahweh, or that is truly a pious man (Psalm 5:7). “Him shall he teach.” He will guide, or instruct him (See Psalm 25:9).

“In the way that he shall choose”: The way that the person ought to choose. Or, in other words, in the right way. It is not the way that God shall choose, but the way that the pious person ought to choose. God will so instruct him that he shall find the true path.

Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.”

Wisdom is a gift from God. Knowledge is accumulated learning. To get knowledge, we must be willing to be taught. If we truly humble ourselves and ask God to teach us His ways, He will teach us all truth.
