Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain!

As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.

and observe it with my whole heart.
35 Lead me in the path of your commandments,
for I delight in it.
36 Incline my heart to your testimonies,
and not to selfish gain!

for your rules are good.

14 to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
