“Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.”
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your good spirit lead me on a level path. The petition for divine instruction suggests that the psalmist's aim is alignment with God's will, not personal preference. The second petition requests guidance (spirit leading on level path); the good spirit represents God's benevolent presence directing the psalmist toward security. This verse demonstrates that petition includes request for moral and spiritual formation, transformation toward alignment with divine purposes.
