36
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies and not to covetousness.
37
Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity,
and cause me to live in thy way.
38
Confirm thy word unto thy slave, who
is devoted to thy fear.
39
Turn away my reproach which I have feared, for thy judgments
are good.
40
Behold, I have longed after thy precepts; cause me to live in thy righteousness.
41
VAU. Let thy mercy come unto me, O LORD,
even thy salvation, according to thy
spoken word.
42
And I shall answer him that reproaches me,
by saying that I trust in thy word.
43
And take not at any time the word of truth out of my mouth; for I wait for thy judgment.
44
So shall I keep thy law continually from age to age.
45
And I will walk at liberty, for I sought thy commandments.
46
I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings and will not be ashamed.
