← The Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament and Applied to the Christian State and Worship

Ver. 5 33. 1 O that the Lord would guide my ways To keep his statutes still! O that my God would grant me grace To know and do his will!

Ver. 29. 2 O send thy Spirit down to write Thy law upon my heart! Nor let my tongue indulge deceit, Nor act the liar's part.

Ver. 37 36. 3 From vanity turn off my eyes: Let no corrupt design, Nor covetous desires arise Within this soul of mine.

Ver. 133. 4 Order my footsteps by thy word, And make my heart sincere, Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep my conscience clear.

Ver. 176. 5 My soul hath gone too far astray, My feet too often slip; Yet since I've not forgot thy way, Restore thy wandering sheep.

Ver. 35. 6 Make me to walk in thy commands, 'Tis a delightful road; Nor let my head, or heart, or hands, Offend against my God.
