That he may incline our hearts unto him
By his Spirit, to love, fear, and serve him; to attend to his worship, word, and ordinances:

to walk in all his ways;

which he commanded our fathers;
all his laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial.

57 "May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; may He not leave us or forsake us,

58 that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers.

59 "And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before the LORD , be near to the LORD our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, as each day requires,

60 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no one else.
