Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law;
yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;
for therein do I delight.

Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes;
and I shall keep it unto the end.

I will run the way of thy commandments,
when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

I have chosen the way of truth:
thy judgments have I laid before me.
I have stuck unto thy testimonies:
O LORD, put me not to shame.

My soul melteth for heaviness:
strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
Remove from me the way of lying:
and grant me thy law graciously.

I have told of my ways, and You have answered me;
Teach me Your statutes.
Make me understand the way of Your precepts,
And I will meditate on Your wonders.

My soul clings to the dust;
Revive me according to Your word.

Thy testimonies also are my delight
and my counsellors.

Remove from me reproach and contempt;
for I have kept thy testimonies.
Princes also did sit and speak against me:
but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

My soul breaketh for the longing
that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed,
which do err from thy commandments.
