31  I cleave unto thy testimonies; Jehovah, let me not be ashamed. 32  I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

33  HE. Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes, and I will observe it unto the end. 34  Give me understanding, and I will observe thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.

35  Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. 36  Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to gain.

37  Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; quicken me in thy way.

38  Establish thy •word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

39  Turn away my reproach which I fear; for thy judgments are good.

40  Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

41  VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah, —thy salvation according to thy •word. 42  So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.

43  And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; because I have hoped in thy judgments. 44  Then will I keep thy law continually, for ever and ever;

45  And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts; 46  And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed; 47  And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved; 48  And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

49  ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
