I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set your ordinances before me. I cling to your decrees, O Lord; let me not be put to shame. I run the way of your commandments, for you enlarge my understanding. Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, and I will observe it to the end. Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart. (Psalm 119: 30-34)
The Hebrew might also be understood as:
I have chosen the path of trusting. I set the examples of your justice before me. I follow closely your evidence, One Who Exists, do not let me be confused. I run quickly on the path to which you have directed me, for you have increased all that I am. Teach me, One Who Exists, the unfolding of your intention, I shall watch faithfully for the consequences. Give me discernment that I may watch faithfully for your purpose and protect it with all that I am.
Listening is hard. Understanding is harder. Doing is the real challenge.
