Psalm 119:33-40 (He)
Teach me, O Lord, the perfect way
from the Scottish Psalter, 1650; rev. #doreancon, 2026 · 8.6.8.6 D
1.Teach me, O Lord, the perfect way
of thy precepts divine,
And to observe it to the end
I shall my heart incline.
Good understanding I would ask
thou unto me impart,
That truly I'd keep and observe
thy law with all my heart.
2.Make me to walk in thy law's path,
with joy I there remain.
Incline my heart to your decrees
and not to selfish gain.
Turn thou away my sight and eyes
from viewing vanity;
And in thy good and holy way
be pleased to quicken me.
3.Confirm to me thy gracious word,
which I did gladly hear,
Ev'n to thy servant, Lord, who is
devoted to thy fear.
Turn thou away my fear'd reproach;
for good thy judgments be.
Lo, for thy precepts I have long'd;
in thy truth quicken me.
