119f. Teach me, O LORD, your way of truth

1 Teach me, O LORD, your way of truth,
and from it I will not depart;
that I may steadfastly obey,
give me an understanding heart.

2 In your commandments make me walk,
for in your law my joy shall be;
give me a heart that loves your will,
from discontent and envy free.

3 Your word sheds light upon my path;
a shining light, it guides my feet;
your righteous judgements to observe,
my solemn vow I now repeat.

4 Your wondrous testimonies, LORD,
my soul will keep and greatly praise;
your word, by faithful lips proclaimed,
to simplest minds the truth conveys.

5 I thirst for your commandments, LORD,
and for your mercy press my claim;
O look on me and show the grace
displayed to all who love your name.
