Teach Me, O LORD

1 Teach me, O LORD, the perfect way
of Thy precepts divine,
And to observe it to the end
I shall my heart incline.

2 Give understanding unto me,
so keep Thy law shall I;
Yea, ev'n with my whole heart I shall
observe it carefully.

3 In Thy law's path make me to go;
for I delight therein.
My heart unto Thy testimonies,
and not to greed, incline.

4 Turn Thou away my sight and eyes
from viewing vanity;
and in Thy good and holy way
be pleased to quicken me.

5 Confirm to me Thy gracious Word,
which I did gladly hear,
Ev'n to Thy servant, LORD, who is
devoted to Thy fear.

6 Turn Thou away my feared reproach;
for good Thy judgments be.
Lo, for Thy precepts I have longed;
in Thy truth quicken me.
