Psalms 143:10 - Exposition

Teach me to do thy will (comp. Psalms 25:4 , Psalms 25:5 ; Psalms 139:24 ). For thou art my God . Therefore my Guide and Teacher. Thy spirit is good ; i . e . gracious and merciful. Lead ms into the land of uprightness ; rather, along a land of smoothness . Some critics unite the last two clauses, and translate, "Let thy good Spirit lead me along a land of smoothness"—"conduct me," i . e . over smooth ground, where I need not stumble.
