Twenty‑fifth Day: Morning Prayer

HeLegem pone

33Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, *
and I shall keep it to the end.

34Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; *
I shall keep it with all my heart.

35Make me go in the path of your commandments, *
for that is my desire.

36Incline my heart to your decrees *
and not to unjust gain.

37Turn my eyes from watching what is worthless; *
give me life in your ways.

38Fulfill your promise to your servant, *
which you make to those who fear you.

39Turn away the reproach which I dread, *
because your judgments are good.

40Behold, I long for your commandments; *
in your righteousness preserve my life.

WawEt veniat super me

41Let your loving‑kindness come to me, O Lord, *
and your salvation, according to your promise.

42Then shall I have a word for those who taunt me, *
because I trust in your words.

43Do not take the word of truth out of my mouth, *
for my hope is in your judgments.

766Psalm 119:33, 41
