⁵ O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,

⁵ and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.

¹⁰ A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.

²¹ make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom `is' the glory -- to the ages of the ages! Amen.

²² for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

²³ and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that `is' in my members.

²⁴ A wretched man I `am'! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?

³³ For this `is' the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a people.

¹⁷³ Thy hand is for a help to me, For Thy commands I have chosen.

¹⁵⁹ See, for thy precepts I have loved, Jehovah, According to Thy kindness quicken me.

¹³¹ My mouth I have opened, yea, I pant, For, for Thy commands I have longed.

⁴⁴ And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.

⁴⁵ And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.

³⁶ Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, And not unto dishonest gain.

³² The way of Thy commands I run, For Thou dost enlarge my heart!
