Secondly, In respect of his babitual desires, which are, §2that he may not sin, Psal. 119.133. Order my steps in thy word, and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. David's great desire is that he may walk as in a frame, that he may walk by line and rule, exactly, accurately; and that though sin did dwell in him, that yet it might not reign in him; and though it did rebel in him, that yet it might not have dominion over him; he would have his sins to be like those beasts in Daniel, whose dominion was taken away, though their lives were prolonged for a season and a time, Chap. 7.12. Psal. 119.10. O, let me not wander from thy commandments. Ver. 36. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Under the name of covetousness, all manner of viciousness is to be understood, that being the root of all evil, 1 Tim. 6.10.
