David here repeateth again the same petition which we have heard. And it is the very same which I have already touched: to wit, that amongst all the prayers which we must make unto God, this is one of the most principal, to desire him to instruct us in his word: that we be not given in such sort to that which concerneth this present life, and our bodies, as that we think no whit of the glass of our souls.
