Psalm 119: 33-40

                 
Teach me, O Lord, the way of
                           your statues,
         and I will observe 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.
                  Turn my heart to your decrees,
                  and not to selfish gain.
                  Turn my eyes from looking at
                           vanities;
                  give me life in your ways.
                  Confirm to your servant your
                           promise,
                  which is for those who
                           fear you.
                  Turn away the disgrace that I
                           dread,
                  for your ordinances are good.
                  See, I have longed for your
                           precepts;
                  in your righteousness give
                           me life.
