Psalms 119:33-40

33Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, And I will [steadfastly] observe it to the end.

34Give me understanding [a teachable heart and the ability to learn], that I may keep Your law; And observe it with all my heart.

35Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it.

36Incline my heart to Your testimonies And not to dishonest gain and envy.

37Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things that distract—let Your priorities be mine], And restore me [with renewed energy] in Your ways.

38Establish Your word and confirm Your promise to Your servant, As that which produces [awe-inspired] reverence for You.

39Turn away my reproach which I dread, For Your ordinances are good.

40I long for Your precepts; Renew me through Your righteousness.
