That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
The verse is a humble, earnest prayer from sincere lips that God's chosen people should pray for the spirit of heavenly wisdom. It asks God to teach what is not seen and to show the secrets of wisdom and counsel that belong to Him. It is prayed by those hungering and thirsting for instruction in righteousness with the sure promise of being filled, as they improve their intellectual powers and through the power of the Holy Spirit receive efficiency for God's word to know Him who is true. It calls for personal dedication of self to God, fitting at the beginning of a new year, confessing wrongdoing with repentance and promising to do wrong no more, and thereby bearing witness for God.
