25
I'm feeling terrible - I couldn't feel worse! Get me on my feet again. You promised, remember?
26
When I told my story, you responded; train me well in your deep wisdom.
27
Help me understand these things inside and out so I can ponder your miracle-wonders.
28
My sad life's dilapidated, a falling-down barn; build me up again by your Word.
29
Barricade the road that goes Nowhere; grace me with your clear revelation.
