36 Incline my heart thy testimonies To love and still observe; From worldly covetous desires Turn it, and me preserve.
36 Incline my heart thy testimonies To love and still observe; From wordly covetous desires Turn it, and me preserve.
37 Govern and turn away mine eyes From sights of vanity; And quicken thou my backward heart In thy most holy way.
38 Stablish that blessed word of thine, Which thou hast bid me hear, Unto thy servant, who is fast Devoted to thy fear.
39 Turn by the slanders and reproach Of which I am afraid; ⟨p. 204⟩For thou wilt justly judge for them Who on thy Word are stayed.
