18. Open my eyes to seethe miracles in your teachings.

19. I am a stranger on earth.Do not hide your commands from me.

20. I wear myself out with desirefor your laws all the time.

21. You scold proud people;those who ignore your commands are cursed.

22. Don’t let me be insulted and hatedbecause I keep your rules.

23. Even if princes speak against me,I, your servant, will think about your demands.

24. Your rules give me pleasure;they give me good advice.

25. I am about to die.Give me life, as you have promised.

26. I told you about my life, and you answered me.Teach me your demands.

27. Help me understand your orders.Then I will think about your miracles.

28. I am sad and tired.Make me strong again as you have promised.

29. Don’t let me be dishonest;have mercy on me by helping me obey your teachings.

30. I have chosen the way of truth;I have obeyed your laws.

31. I hold on to your rules.Lord, do not let me be disgraced.

32. I will quickly obey your commands,because you have made me happy.

33. Lord, teach me your demands,and I will keep them until the end.

34. Help me understand, so I can keep your teachings,obeying them with all my heart.
