34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.” (Ps 119:33-40 AV)
If You teach me, O Lord, I will not forget. Only You can make me receive the engrafted word which
is able to save my soul. I will keep Your law if You give me understanding; otherwise I am foolish,
with a divided heart, double minded and unable to receive anything from You.
I will delight in Your commandments when You make me go in the path of life: in thy presence is
I will delight in Your commandments when You make me go in the path of life: in thy presence is
fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. But You must cause me to go,
because my nature is prone to hate God and Your commandments.
My heart is filled with its own desires, for all men seek their own, and not the things of Christ. You
must incline my heart unto Your testimonies if I am to escape the corruption of the world through
lust. Only You can purify my heart so that I can see God. I pray that You would turn my eyes away
from the emptiness and folly of the world; give me life to go in Your way.
May Your word be sealed and ratified to me, O Lord, for only Your Holy Spirit can authenticate and
May Your word be sealed and ratified to me, O Lord, for only Your Holy Spirit can authenticate and
overcome my unbelief and folly. When I heard the word of truth, the gospel of salvation: I trusted in
You, in the gospel of salvation: and was sealed and devoted to Your fear, for the Holy Spirit of
promise is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the
praise of Your glory. These I attest to, also, and set to my seal that You are faithful. This is Your
work, O Lord, and not mine.
The thing I fear, O Lord, is reproach; either to be reproached of You, for Your judgments are right
The thing I fear, O Lord, is reproach; either to be reproached of You, for Your judgments are right
and good; or to bring reproach upon Your Name and Your glory. Therefore I long after Your
precepts; make me to live in Your righteousness, O precious Father. This is also Your work.
