God, keep my tongue from
evil,
and my lips from
speaking deceit.
Help me seek peace, and
pursue it;
may I depart from evil,
and do good.
Let me obey you and
incline my ear;
walk not in my counsels,
but in yours;
looking forward rather
than backward.
Keep me trusting in your
promises,
that I may grow strong
in faith
as I give all glory to
you.
And make me thirsty
for your living
water.

living water.'"
