Gill's Notes on the Bible
That he may incline our hearts unto him,.... By his Spirit, to love, fear, and serve him; to attend to his worship, word, and ordinances:
to walk in all his ways; he has prescribed and directed to:
and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers; all his laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Incline our hearts - This is a doctrine which first appears in Scripture in the Davidical Psalms (see the margin reference and Psalms 141:4). Solomon in this prayer seems to be thoroughly penetrated with his father’s spirit.
