I wish I were more loyal in obeying your demands.
I am nearly out of breath. I really want to learn your commands.
See how I love your orders. Lord, give me life by your love.
Give me your helping hand, because I have chosen your commands.
I will quickly obey your commands, because you have made me happy.
Make me want to keep your rules instead of wishing for riches.
Create in me a pure heart, God, and make my spirit right again.
“This is the agreement I will make with the people of Israel at that time,” says the Lord: “I will put my teachings in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
May the Lord lead your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s patience.
