John,
Do you divide the verse this way:
1. First part: the first three words
2. Second part: the following two words
3. Third part: the remaining four words?

or are your thinking of something else as for a division of verse into
small  -but complete-  sentences?

Remark that the text says: "Teach my, Lord, THY way". The word "emet" is in
construct because it took the suffix -kha and then no need of another name
in the absolute after it...
As for help look at (for pause) www.oham.net/out/S-t/S-t1314.html
and (for dynamic) at www.oham.net/out/S-t/S-t1312.html

Greetings.
