The following is from a book called "Method for Prayer" by Matthew Henry, (whose commentary you may have heard of). The purpose of this book is to give an example of how to pray the Bible. The entire book is online, and you can get daily e-mails of sections from the book, as I do. There is also translation of choice between a few, and if you want it corporate (We) or personal (I). http://www.matthewhenry.org/
Anyway, I was quite moved in adoration to our Lord by this section today. I pray that this prayer below will do the same for you.
