33
Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to
the end.
34
Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all
my heart.
35
Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.
36
Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.
37
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according
to your word.
38
Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared.
39
Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good.
40 How I long for
your precepts! Preserve
my life in your righteousness. |

49
Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.
50
My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.
51
The arrogant mock me without restraint, but I do not turn from your
law.
52
I remember your ancient laws, O LORD, and I find comfort in them.
53
Indignation grips me because of the wicked, who have forsaken your
law.
54
Your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge.
55
In the night I remember your name, O LORD, and I will keep your law.
56
This has been my practice: I obey your precepts.

41
May your unfailing love come to me, O LORD, your salvation according
to your promise;
42
then I will answer the one who taunts me, for I trust in your word.
43
Do not snatch the word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my
hope in your laws.
44
I will always obey your law, for ever and ever.
45
I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.
46
I will speak of your statutes before kings and will not be put to
shame,
47
for I delight in your commands because I love them.
48 I lift up my
hands to your
commands, which I love, and I meditate on your decrees. |
Heth
57
You are my portion, O LORD; I have promised to obey your words.
58
I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me
according to your promise.
59
I have considered my ways and have turned my steps to your statutes.
60
I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.
61
Though the wicked bind me with ropes, I will not forget your law.
62
At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws.
63
I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts.
64
The earth is filled with your love, O LORD; teach me your decrees.
