Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes!
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain!
I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!
Let your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.
Consider how I love your precepts! Give me life according to your steadfast love.
I will keep your law continually, forever and ever, and I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts.
I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments.
