Institutes of the by John Calvin
So, too, David, after he has prayed the ways of God be made known to him so that he may walk in his truth, immediately adds, 'Unite my heart to fear thy name' [Ps. 86:11; cf. Ps. 119:33]. By these words he means that even well-disposed persons have been subject to so many distractions that they readily vanish or fall away unless they are strengthened to persevere.
