Leading On The Way

Ὁδήγησόν με ἐν τῇ τρίβῳ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου, ὅτι αὐτὴν ἠθέλησα. ᾿Ἵνα εἴπῃ τὸν νόμον, ἤτοι τὴν τρίβον· ἔστι γὰρ ἐντολῶν τρίβος. Τρίβος δὲ λέγεται ἡ τετριμμένη ὁδὸς, ἣν πολλοὶ πρὸ ἡμῶν ἐπορεύθησαν τῶν δικαίων. Ἐὰν δὲ τις μὴ ὁδηγῷ χρήσηται τῷ δ καίῳ, οὐ δύναται ὁδεῦσαι κατὰ τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ Θεοῦ Χριστοῦ γὰρ ἡμᾶς δεῖ γίνεσθαι μιμητὰς, καὶ αἴρεις τὸν σταυρὸν, καὶ ἀκολουθεῖν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ Εὐσέβιος ὁ Καισάρειος, Ὑπομνηματα Ἐις Τους Ψαλμους, Ψαλμὸς ΡΙH' Source: Migne PG 23.1371b

Lead me on the way of your commandments because I have desired it. 1 He speaks of the law as the way, for the law is a way. And the law is spoken of as a well trodden way, which many righteous men have walked on before us. But if someone lacks a righteous guide, he is not able to walk according to the commandments of God, for we must be imitators of Christ, and take up the cross, and follow after Him. Eusebius of Caesarea, Commentary on the Psalms, from Psalm 118 1 Ps 118.35
