English Standard Version
All the wisdom in the world may well be contained in these 8 verses. Prayers for life, for humility, for delight -- it cuts through everything and teaches us where our truest treasures lie. When we learn the Lord's law, when we truly understand what God has given to us, we turn from ourselves, we turn from the worthless things we so often waste our energies upon, and we find the truest life there really is.
With my whole heart, I pray for the wisdom to want the things of God. With every ounce of my being, I want to order my loves correctly, to be afire for God, that I may not be lukewarm but every day turning more and more towards the true sun that brings true life and true light.
