Help me to understand your laws, and I will meditate on your wonderful teachings.

Give me the desire to obey your laws rather than to get rich.

Always be ready to help me, because I follow your commands.

I will give you a new heart and a new mind. I will take away your stubborn heart of stone and give you an obedient heart.

I will put my spirit in you and will see to it that you follow my laws and keep all the commands I have given you.

because God is always at work in you to make you willing and able to obey his own purpose.

(SEE 13:20)

He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths, as he has promised.

Wisdom can make your life pleasant and lead you safely through it.

I have taught you wisdom and the right way to live.

The road the righteous travel is like the sunrise, getting brighter and brighter until daylight has come.

I walk the way of righteousness; I follow the paths of justice,

and their people will say, "Let us go up the hill of the LORD, to the Temple of Israel's God. He will teach us what he wants us to do; we will walk in the paths he has chosen. For the LORD's teaching comes from Jerusalem; from Zion he speaks to his people."

The holy God of Israel, the LORD who saves you, says: "I am the LORD your God, the one who wants to teach you for your own good and direct you in the way you should go.

I take pleasure in your laws; your commands I will not forget.

The LORD says, "If you treat the Sabbath as sacred and do not pursue your own interests on that day; if you value my holy day and honor it by not traveling, working, or talking idly on that day,

then you will find the joy that comes from serving me. I will make you honored all over the world, and you will enjoy the land I gave to your ancestor, Jacob. I, the LORD, have spoken."

My inner being delights in the law of God.

For our love for God means that we obey his commands. And his commands are not too hard for us,
