ה

³³ Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,

that I may follow it to the end.^[a]

³⁴ Give me understanding, so that I may 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.^[b]

 

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!

In your righteousness preserve my life.

ו

⁴¹ May your unfailing love come to me,
 

Lord,

your salvation, according to your promise;
 

⁴² then I can answer anyone who taunts me,


for I trust in your word.
