33
Teach me, LORD, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end.
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.
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.
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.
43
Never take your word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my hope in your laws.
44
I will always obey your law, for ever and ever.
45
I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.
46
I will speak of your statutes before kings and will not be put to shame,
47
for I delight in your commands because I love them.
48
I reach out for your commands, which I love, that I may meditate on your decrees.
49
Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.
50
My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.
51
The arrogant mock me unmercifully, but I do not turn from your law.
52
I remember, LORD, your ancient laws, and I find comfort in them.
53
Indignation grips me because of the wicked, who have forsaken your law.
54
Your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge.
55
In the night, LORD, I remember your name, that I may keep your law.
56
This has been my practice: I obey your precepts.
57
You are my portion, LORD; I have promised to obey your words.
58
I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.
59
I have considered my ways and have turned my steps to your statutes.
60
I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.
61
Though the wicked bind me with ropes, I will not forget your law.
62
At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws.
63
I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts.
64
The earth is filled with your love, LORD; teach me your decrees.
