Psalm 119:33–42

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

and I will keep it to the end.

Give me understanding, that I may keep your law

and observe it with my whole heart.

Lead me in the path of your commandments,

for I delight in it.

Incline my heart to your testimonies,

and not to selfish gain!

Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things;

and give me life in your ways.

Confirm to your servant your promise,

that you may be feared.

Turn away the reproach that I dread,

for your rules are good.

Behold, I long for your precepts;

in your righteousness give me life!

Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord,

your salvation according to your promise;

then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me,

for I trust in your word.

Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,

that I may follow it to the end.

Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law

and obey it with all my heart.

Direct me in the path of your commands,

for there I find delight.

Turn my heart toward your statutes

and not toward selfish gain.

Turn my eyes away from worthless things;

preserve my life according to your word.

Fulfill your promise to your servant,

so that you may be feared.

Take away the disgrace I dread,

for your laws are good.

How I long for your precepts!

In your righteousness preserve my life.

May your unfailing love come to me, Lord,

your salvation, according to your promise;

then I can answer anyone who taunts me,

for I trust in your word.

Teach me, Lord, the meaning of your statutes,

and I will always keep them.

Help me understand your instruction,

and I will obey it

and follow it with all my heart.

Help me stay on the path of your commands,

for I take pleasure in it.

Turn my heart to your decrees

and not to dishonest profit.

Turn my eyes

from looking at what is worthless;

give me life in your ways.

Confirm what you said to your servant,

for it produces reverence for you.

Turn away the disgrace I dread;

indeed, your judgments are good.

How I long for your precepts!

Give me life through your righteousness.

Let your faithful love come to me, Lord,

your salvation, as you promised.

Then I can answer the one who taunts me,

for I trust in your word.

Teach me, O Yahweh, the way of your statutes,

and I will keep it to the end.

Give me understanding, that I may keep your law

and heed it with my whole heart.

Cause me to walk in the path of your commands,

for I delight in it.

Incline my heart to your testimonies,

and not to dishonest gain.

Turn away my eyes from looking at what is worthless;

revive me in your ways.

Fulfill your word to your servant,

which is to bring about a reverence for you.

Turn away my disgrace that I dread,

for your ordinances are good.

Look, I have longed for your precepts;

revive me in your righteousness.

Let your acts of loyal love also come to me, O Yahweh,

your salvation according to your word.

Then I will have an answer for the one who taunts me,

for I trust your word.

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.

VAU.

Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord,

Even thy salvation, according to thy word.

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me:

For I trust in thy word.
