P119e. Teach me, O Lord, the perfect way

HE THE FIFTH PART

33 Teach me, O LORD, the perfect way
of thy precepts divine,
and to observe it to the end
I shall my heart incline.
34 Give understanding unto me,
so keep thy law shall I;
yea, even with my whole heart I shall
observe it carefully.

35 In thy law’s path make me to go;
for I delight therein.
36 My heart unto thy testimonies,
and not to greed, incline.
37 Turn Thou away my sight and eyes
from viewing vanity;
and in thy good and holy way
be pleased to quicken me.

38 Confirm to me thy gracious word,
which I did gladly hear;
to me thy servant, Lord, who am
devoted to thy fear.
39 Turn thou away my feared reproach;
for good thy judgments be.
40 Lo, for thy precepts I have longed;
in thy truth quicken me.
