Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes!
13
With my lips I have declared All the judgments of Your mouth.
14
I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, As much as in all riches.
15
I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways.
16
I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.
17
Deal bountifully with Your servant, That I may live and keep Your word.
18
Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law.
19
I am a stranger in the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me.
20
My soul breaks with longing For Your judgments at all times.
21
You rebuke the proud--the cursed, Who stray from Your commandments.
22
Remove from me reproach and contempt, For I have kept Your testimonies.
23
Princes also sit and speak against me, But Your servant meditates on Your statutes.
24
Your testimonies also are my delight And my counselors.
25
My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word.
26
I have declared my ways, and You answered me; Teach me Your statutes.
27
Make me understand the way of Your precepts; So shall I meditate on Your wondrous works.
28
My soul melts from heaviness; Strengthen me according to Your word.
29
Remove from me the way of lying, And grant me Your law graciously.
30
I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me.
31
I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord, do not put me to shame!
32
I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart.
