35, 36.
In paths of thy CommandsLord make me go aright;For my desire so stands,and therein I delight.Incline my heart, O Lord,that I may not digress:Incline it to thy word,and not to covetousness.

From viewing vanities,and quick'n me in thy way.Establish thou thy wordunto thy servant dear:Who is devoted, Lord,unto thy faithfull fear.
39, 40.
The obloquy I fear,Lord, turn away from me:Eor I confess how clear,how good thy judgments be.Behold how my desiresdo for thy precepts press,O stir those holy firesto shew thy righteousness.
