Footnotes

  1. 49 Heb “the way of your statutes.”
  2. 50 Heb “and I will keep it to the end.” The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative. The Hebrew term עֵקֶב (’eqev) is understood to mean “end” here. Another option is to take עֵקֶב (’eqev) as meaning “reward” here (see Ps 19:11) and to translate, “so that I might observe it and be rewarded.”
  3. 51 The two prefixed verbal forms with vav (ו) conjunctive indicate purpose/result after the introductory imperative.
  4. 52 Or “make me walk.”
  5. 53 Heb “for in it I delight.”
  6. 54 Heb “turn my heart to your rules.”
  7. 55 Heb “and not unjust gain.”

HE.

Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes;

And I shall keep it unto the end.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law;

Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;

For therein do I delight.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,

And not to covetousness.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity;

And quicken thou me in thy way.

Stablish thy word unto thy servant,

Who is devoted to thy fear.

Turn away my reproach which I fear:

For thy judgments are good.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts:

Quicken me in thy righteousness.
