Vs. 7 – I will praise You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments.

In this verse David expresseth his esteem of the word, by telling what he would give for the knowledge and practice of it. As we use to tell a man how thankful we would be if he would do thus and thus for us; so, Lord, if thou wilt give me to learn thy righteous judgments, then I will praise thee, &c. (Manton, T. (1872).

Prayer:

I will praise You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous judgments. Yes indeed, as I learn Your righteous judgments my heart rejoices. Teach me, my Lord, more of Your judgments that my heart and lips will have more praise to lift towards heaven.
