Still David sees the necessity of walking in Gods way, and his own proneness to run out of that way: therefore he desires direction from the Lord: that as he had given him a desire, so he would enable him to perform. Questionless we are of our selves ready enough like unbridled horses in the ways of this world, to run our selves even out of breath, and we have many occasions here to spur us on: only the Lord can keep us in this path: therefore must we pray for his direction: which if we once obtain, we shall not wander either in judgement or practise out of the right path.
