31I cleave unto thy testimonies:

O Jehovah, put me not to shame.

32I will run the way of thy commandments,

When thou shalt enlarge my heart.

HE.

33Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes;

And I shall keep it unto the end.

34Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law;

Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

35Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;

For therein do I delight.

36Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,

And not to covetousness.

37Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity,

And quicken me in thy ways.

38Confirm unto thy servant thy word,

Which is in order unto the fear of thee.

39Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid;

For thine ordinances are good.

40Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:

Quicken me in thy righteousness.

VAV.

41Let thy lovingkindnesses also come unto me, O Jehovah,

Even thy salvation, according to thy word.

42So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me;

For I trust in thy word.

43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;

For I have hoped in thine ordinances.

44So shall I observe thy law continually

For ever and ever.

45And I shall walk at liberty;

For I have sought thy precepts.

46I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings,

And shall not be put to shame.

47And I will delight myself in thy commandments,

Which I have loved.

48I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments, which I have loved;

And I will meditate on thy statutes.

ZAYIN.

49Remember the word unto thy servant,

Because thou hast made me to hope.
