Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees;
then I will keep them to the end.
Give me understanding, and I will keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.
Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight.
Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word.
Fulfill your promise to your servant,
so that you may be feared.
Take away the disgrace I dread,
for your laws are good.
How I long for your percepts!
Preserve my life in your righteousness.
then I will keep them to the end.
Give me understanding, and I will keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.
Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight.
Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word.
Fulfill your promise to your servant,
so that you may be feared.
Take away the disgrace I dread,
for your laws are good.
How I long for your percepts!
Preserve my life in your righteousness.
The law of our Lord is there to keep us from falling. It is like the fire-proof wall that keeps us safe from fire. Yet, most of us choose to stay away from the wall. We always find ourselves being restricted and confined withing the wall. That's the reason we want to get out. So, what is the use to having our Lord's law and not obeying Him?
