2.
False
Reference:
Psalm 25:4–5
“Show
me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.”

Guidance is requested, but the wording “acknowledge Him and He shall direct
your paths” is from Proverbs 3:6.
3.
False

“Forgive
all my sins.”

103:12.

8.
False
Reference:

Correct
theology can still be a wrong answer if it’s imported from the wrong text.
Psalm 25 rewards readers who let Scripture speak before systematizing it.
