ה HE. The 5. part.

Teach me, O Lord, the perfect wayLine 33 
of thy precepts divine,
And to observe it to the end
I shall my heart incline.
Give understanding unto me,Line 34 
so keep thy Law shall I;
Yea, ev'n with my whole heart, I shal
observe it carefully.

In thy Laws path make me to go,Line 35 
for I delight therein.
My heart unto thy testimonies,Line 36 
and not to greed incline.
Turn thou away my sight and eyesLine 37 
from viewing vanitie,
And in thy good and holy way
be pleas'd to quicken me.

Confirm to me thy gracious word,Line 38 
which I did gladly hear,
Ev'n to thy servant, Lord, who is
devoted to thy fear.
Turn thou away my fear'd reproach:Line 39 
for good thy judgements be.
Lo, for thy precepts I have long'd:Line 40 
in thy truth quicken me.
