O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
O that my ways were directed - `confirmed,' (Hengstenberg: cf. Psalms 78:37; Psalms 51:10, margin.) Prepared, directed aright, and made stedfast х yikonuw (H3559)], (2 Chronicles 27:6, cf. margin.) Remembering human frailty and instability, and knowing that man cannot of himself obey God's law, the Psalmist prays for the divine power to regulate aright and establish his ways.
