⁵ Oh that my ways were steadfast To obey your statutes!

⁵ May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

²¹ make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

²² For I delight in God's law after the inward man,

²³ but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

²⁴ What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

³³ But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahweh: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:

¹⁷³ Let your hand be ready to help me, For I have chosen your precepts.

¹⁵⁹ Consider how I love your precepts. Revive me, Yahweh, according to your loving kindness.

¹³¹ I opened my mouth wide and panted, For I longed for your commandments.

⁴⁴ So I will obey your law continually, Forever and ever.

⁴⁵ I will walk in liberty, For I have sought your precepts.

³⁶ Turn my heart toward your statutes, Not toward selfish gain.

³² I run in the path of your commandments, For you have set my heart free.
