Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 143:10

10 Teach me to do thy will , for thou art my God: thy spirit is good, lead me into the land of uprightness .

To continue in faithful obedience to thee, notwithstanding all temp[illegible: 1+ letters]ations to the contrary.

Or rather, as it is exactly in the Hebrew, and as many both ancient and modern Translators render it, Let thy good Spirit lead me. Leave me not to my own blind and vain mind or corrupt affections, neither give me up to the evil Spirit, as thou didst Saul, [illegible: 1+ letters]ut conduct me in all my ways by thy good, i. e. gracious and holy Spirit.

Or, in plain or even land or ground, in a straight and smooth path, that I may not stumble nor fall either into sin or mischief. This is opposed to the crooked and rugged ways in which sinners are said to walk. See Psal. 125. 5. Prov. 2. 15. Isa. 40. 4.
