Prayer for the Seventh Sunday after Epiphany – Prayer & Possibilities

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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