Verse 40
(40) Quicken me in thy righteousness—i.e., Let the sense of thy eternal justice give me vigour and life. Or the thought may be of the invigorating influence of a complete surrender to a righteous law, as in Wordsworth’s Ode to Duty;—
“I myself commendUnto thy guidance from this hour.Oh let my weakness have an end!Give unto me, made lowly, wise,The spirit of self-sacrifice.The confidence of reason give,And in the light of truth thy bondsman let me live.”
