5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast

in obeying your decrees!

5 O that my ways were directed

To keep thy statutes!

5 Oh, that my actions would consistently

reflect your decrees!

5 Oh, that my ways were directed

To keep Your statutes!

5 I wish I were more loyal

in obeying your demands.

5 Oh that my ways were established

To observe thy statutes!

5 Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

5 I pray that my ways may become firmly established 

so that I can obey your laws. 

5 If only my ways were committed

to keeping Your statutes!

5 O that my ways may be steadfast

in keeping your statutes!

5 Oh that my ways were steadfast,

to keep your statutes!

5 I hope I will always stand firm

in following your orders.

5 Oh that my ways may be established

To keep Your statutes!
