R (68b) Lord, teach me your statutes.
Remove from me the way of falsehood,
and favor me with your law. R
Take not the word of truth from my mouth,
for in your ordinances is my hope. R
Let those turn to me who fear you
and acknowledge your decrees. R
Let my heart be perfect in your statutes,
that I be not put to shame. R
Sinners wait to destroy me,
but I pay heed to your decrees. R
From your ordinances I turn not away,
for you have instructed me. R
Alleluia, alleluia. One does not live on bread alone,/ but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. Alleluia, alleluia.
- Command me to come to you on the water. l
