26
I have declared my ways, and You answered me; Teach me Your statutes.
27
Make me understand the way of Your precepts; So shall I meditate on Your wondrous works.
28
My soul melts from heaviness; Strengthen me according to Your word.
29
Remove from me the way of lying, And grant me Your law graciously.
30
I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me.
31
I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord, do not put me to shame!
32
I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart.
33
Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, And I shall keep it to the end.
34
Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35
Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it.
36
Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to covetousness.
37
Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way.
38
Establish Your word to Your servant, Who is devoted to fearing You.
39
Turn away my reproach which I dread, For Your judgments are good.
40
Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness.
41
Let Your mercies come also to me, O Lord-- Your salvation according to Your word.
42
So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, For I trust in Your word.
43
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I have hoped in Your ordinances.
44
So shall I keep Your law continually, Forever and ever.
45
And I will walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts.
46
I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, And will not be ashamed.
