34. Give understanding unto me,so keep thy law shall I;Yea, ev'n with my whole heart I shallobserve it carefully.
35. In thy law's path make me to go;for I delight therein.
36. My heart unto thy testimonies,and not to greed, incline.
37. Turn thou away my sight and eyesfrom viewing vanity;And in thy good and holy waybe pleas'd to quicken me.
38. Confirm to me thy gracious word,which I did gladly hear,Ev'n to thy servant, Lord, who isdevoted to thy fear.
39. Turn thou away my fear'd reproach;for good thy judgments be.
40. Lo, for thy precepts I have long'd;in thy truth quicken me.
41. Let thy sweet mercies also comeand visit me, O Lord;Ev'n thy benign salvation,according to thy word.
42. So shall I have wherewith I maygive him an answer just,Who spitefully reproacheth me;for in thy word I trust.
43. The word of truth out of my mouthtake thou not utterly;For on thy judgments righteousmy hope doth still rely.
44. So shall I keep for evermorethy law continually.
45. And, sith that I thy precepts seek,I'll walk at liberty.
46. I'll speak thy word to kings,and I with shame shall not be mov'd;
47. And will delight myself alwaysin thy laws, which I lov'd.
