36. Incline my heart to your testimonies,and not to selfish gain!
37. Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things;and give me life in your ways.
38. Confirm to your servant your promise, that you may be feared.
39. Turn away the reproach that I dread,for your rules are good.
40. Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life!
41. Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord,your salvation according to your promise;
42. then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me,for I trust in your word.
43. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,for my hope is in your rules.
44. I will keep your law continually,forever and ever,
45. and I shall walk in a wide place,for I have sought your precepts.
46. I will also speak of your testimonies before kingsand shall not be put to shame,
47. for I find my delight in your commandments,which I love.
48. I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love,and I will meditate on your statutes.
