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 toward 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 precepts!
Preserve my life in your righteousness
