18 Open my eyes, and I will see the wonders of thy law.

19 I am a stranger on earth; do not hide from me Thy commandments.

20 My soul is weary for the desire of thy judgments at all times.

21 Thou hast tamed the proud, the accursed, those who deviate from Thy commandments.

22 Take away from me reproach and shame, for I keep thy testimonies.

23 Princes sit and conspire against me, but Thy servant meditates on Thy statutes.

24 Thy testimonies are my comfort, and my counsellors.

25 My soul is cast into the dust; revive me according to Thy word.

26 I have declared my ways, and you have heard me; teach me Thy statutes.

27 Let me understand the way of thy commandments, and I will meditate on thy wonders.

28 My soul is faint with sorrow: strengthen me according to thy word.

29 Remove from me the way of falsehood, and give me thy law.

30 I have chosen the way of truth, I have set Thy judgments before me.

31 I have cleaved to thy testimonies, O Lord; do not shame me.

32 I will flow in the way of thy commandments, when thou hast enlarged my heart.

33 Show me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes, and I will hold on to it to the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I will keep thy law, and keep it with all my heart.

35 Set me in the path of Thy commandments, for I have desired it.

36 Incline my heart to thy testimonies, and not to gain.

37 Turn away my eyes, that I may not see vanity; give me life in Thy way.

38 Confirm thy word unto thy servant, for the sake of reverence for thee.

39 Turn away my reproach, which I fear, for Thy judgments are good.

40 Behold, I have desired thy commandments; give me life by Thy righteousness.

41 May Thy mercies come unto me, O Lord, Thy salvation according to Thy word,

42 and I will give an answer to him that reproaches me, for I trust in thy word.

43 Take not utterly from my mouth the words of truth, for I trust in thy judgments

44 and I will keep thy law always, for ever and ever;

45 I will walk freely, for I have sought thy commandments;
