Psalm 119:17–32

ג Gimel

17 Deal generously with your servantv

so that I might live;

then I will keep your word.

18 Open my eyes so that I may contemplate

wondrous things from your instruction.

19 I am a resident alien on earth;w

do not hide your commands from me.

20 I am continually overcome

with longing for your judgments.x

21 You rebuke the arrogant,

the ones under a curse,y

who wander from your commands.z

22 Take insult and contempt away from me,aa

for I have kept your decrees.

23 Though princes sit together speaking against me,ab

your servant will think about your statutes;ac

24 your decrees are my delight

and my counselors.ad

ד Daleth

25 My life is down in the dust;ae

give me lifeaf through your word.

26 I told you about my life,

and you answered me;

teach me your statutes.ag

27 Help me understand

the meaning of your precepts

so that I can meditate on your wonders.ah

28 I am wearyA from grief;

strengthen me through your word.ai

29 Keep me from the way of deceit

and graciously give me your instruction.

30 I have chosen the way of truth;

I have set your ordinances before me.aj

31 I cling to your decrees;

Lord, do not put me to shame.ak

32 I pursue the way of your commands,

for you broaden my understanding.B,al
