Help me understand the meaning of Your precepts so that I can meditate on Your wonders.

Turn my heart to Your decrees and not to material gain.

May Your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen Your precepts.

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

I will place My Spirit within you and cause you to follow My statutes and carefully observe My ordinances.

For it is God who is working in you, [enabling you] both to will and to act for His good purpose.

equip you with all that is good to do His will, working in us what is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

He renews my life; He leads me along the right paths for His name's sake.

Her ways are pleasant, and all her paths, peaceful.

I am teaching you the way of wisdom; I am guiding you on straight paths.

The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.

I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,

and many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us about His ways so that we may walk in His paths." For instruction will go out of Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

This is what the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for [your] benefit, who leads you in the way you should go.

I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.

"If you keep from desecrating the Sabbath, from doing whatever you want on My holy day; if you call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy [day] of the LORD honorable; if you honor it, not going your own ways, seeking your own pleasure, or talking too much;

then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you ride over the heights of the land, and let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob." For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

For in my inner self I joyfully agree with God's law.

For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands. Now His commands are not a burden,
