Vs. 66 — Teach me good judgment and knowledge, For I believe Your commandments.

B.C.B:

“Teach me (to have) a good taste and discernment—that faculty of the mind by which I may discern, distinguish, judge rightly, and relish things moral and spiritual.” (Alexander, W. H. (1867). The Book of Praises: Being the Book of Psalms, according to the Authorized Version, with Notes Original and Selected (p. 405). London: Jackson, Walford, and Hodder.)

Prayer:

Teach me to have good judgment, discernment, and knowledge, for I believe Your commandments. I want to know how to recognize righteousness and unrighteousness so that I may choose the path of truth. Through the lens of Your commandments will truth be evident. Enable me to judge righteously and not by appearance. Please do not let me breathe in the prejudices and partiality of others, but teach me to see clearly, listen clearly, and to distinguish right and wrong clearly. This can only be done if Thy Spirit grants such grace. I ask not only for myself, but that the Spirit of Truth would teach all the saints, the whole Church, good judgment and knowledge that we would not be taken in by the deception of the world or the arch enemy of the Cross.
