Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I will keep it to the end. Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart. Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it. Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain! Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways. Confirm to your servant your promise, that you may be feared. Turn away the reproach that I dread, for your rules are good. Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life!
Lord, I echo the pleading tone of this stanza. Fill me, as only You can do with a complete understanding of Your Law, Your Precepts, Your Testimonies, Your Commandments, Your Promises, Your Rules. Lord, that my walk in Your Kingdom would be one of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, leading all to You; that my mouth would be filled with Your praises and be testifying to Your great mercy, love, and forgiveness; that my message would be, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, it is available to you now, come and join me in it."
