BSB
ASV
I am thy servant; give me understanding, That I may know thy testimonies.
KJV
I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
CONFERENCE 3:15 (435)
The blessed David asks the Lord for that very understanding by which he can recognize God's commands, which he well knew were written in the book of the law, when he says "I am your servant: O give me understanding that I may learn your commandments." Certainly he was in possession of understanding, which had been granted to him by nature, and also had at his fingers' ends a knowledge of God's commands which were preserved in writing in the law.
