Psalms 143:10

Teach me to do thy will Cp. Psalms 25:4-5; Psalms 40:8.

for thouart my God Cp. Psalms 31:14, and often; Psalms 140:6.

thy spiritis good; lead me into the land of uprightness Better, though the construction is grammatically anomalous, let thy good spirit lead me in a level land. Cp. Nehemiah 9:20, "Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them." The geographical term -level land" or -plain country" (Deuteronomy 4:43) is here metaphorically applied to denote conditions of life free from the dangers and obstacles which now beset the Psalmist. Cp. Psalms 26:12. Perhaps however we should read with the change of a single letter (ארח for ארץ) in a level path, as in Psalms 27:11. Cp. Isaiah 26:7, "The path for the righteous is plain: straight and level thou makest the way of the righteous."
