25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust; quicken Thou me according to Thy word.

26 I have declared my ways, and Thou heardest me; teach me Thy statutes.

27 Make me to understand the way of Thy precepts; so shall I talk of Thy wondrous works.

28 My soul melteth from heaviness; strengthen Thou me according to Thy word.

29 Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me Thy law graciously.

30 I have chosen the way of truth; Thy judgments have I laid before me.

31 I have held fast unto Thy testimonies; O Lord, put me not to shame.

32 I will run in the way of Thy commandments, when Thou shalt enlarge my heart.

33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of Thy statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end.

34 Give me understanding and I shall keep Thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

35 Make me to go in the path of Thy commandments, for therein do I delight.

36 Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, and not to covetousness;

37 turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, and quicken Thou me in Thy way.

38 Establish Thy word unto Thy servant, who is devoted to the fear of Thee.

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 Let Thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even Thy salvation according to Thy word;

42 so shall I have the answer for him that reproacheth me, for I trust in Thy word.

43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I have hoped in Thy judgments.

44 So shall I keep Thy law continually, for ever and ever.

45 And I will walk in liberty, for I seek Thy precepts.

46 I will speak of Thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

47 And I will delight myself in Thy commandments which I have loved.

48 My hands also will I lift up unto Thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate on Thy statutes.
