11. Teach me thy way, O Lord. He does not pray to be indulged with his own way. This evinces a humble
sense of ignorance, teachableness of spirit, and cheerful obedience of heart. Leadme in a plain path. Help is here sought as well as direction; we not only
need a map of the way, but a guide to assist us in the journey. A path is here
desired which is open, honest, straightforward, in opposition to the way of
cunning, which is intricate, tortuous, dangerous. Good people seldom succeed in
fine speculations and doubtful courses; plain simplicity is the best spirit for
an heir of heaven: let us leave shifty tracks and political expediences to the
citizens of the world. Because of mine enemies. These will catch us if
they can, but the way of simple honesty is safe from their rage. Truth is
wisdom.
