Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. {right: or, constant}

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. {patient...: or, patience of Christ}

Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom {be} glory for ever and ever. Amen. {working: or, doing}

But this {shall be} the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.

So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

The steps of a {good} man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. {ordered: or, established}

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. {let...: or, all thy ways shall be ordered aright}

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Teach me to do thy will; for thou {art} my God: thy spirit {is} good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

The wisdom of the prudent {is} to understand his way: but the folly of fools {is} deceit.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. {patient...: or, patience of Christ}

The wicked in {his} pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. {The wicked...: Heb. In the pride of the wicked he doth persecute}

A wicked man hardeneth his face: but {as for} the upright, he directeth his way. {directeth: or, considereth}

The desire of the righteous {is} only good: {but} the expectation of the wicked {is} wrath.

Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but {how} to perform that which is good I find not.

These {are} the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
