Praying the Psalms with Augustine and Friends

your good Spirit lead me on level ground (v. 10). For my bad spirit has led me into a crooked land. And what have I deserved? What can be reckoned as my good works without your aid, through which I may obtain and be worthy to be led by your Spirit into the right land? Listen, then, with all your power, to the commendation of Grace, by which you are saved without price. For your name’s sake, LORD, preserve my life in your righteousness (v. 11). Not in my own, not because I have deserved, but because you have mercy.
