¹²⁹Your testimonies are ^awonderful;

Therefore my soul ^bobserves them.

¹³⁰The ^aunfolding of Your words gives light;

It gives ^bunderstanding to the simple.

For I ^clonged for Your commandments.

^132aTurn to me and be gracious to me,

After Your manner ¹with those who love Your name.

¹³³Establish my ^afootsteps in Your ¹word,

And do not let any iniquity ^bhave dominion over me.

That I may keep Your precepts.
