Psalm 119:33-40
New King James Version
ה HE
33 (A)Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes,
And I shall keep it to the end.
34 (B)Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law;
Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 Make me walk in the path of Your commandments,
For I delight in it.
36 [a]Incline my heart to Your testimonies,
And not to (C)covetousness.
37 (D)Turn[b] away my eyes from (E)looking at worthless things,
And revive me in [c]Your way.
38 (F)Establish Your word to Your servant,
Who is devoted to fearing You.
39 Turn away my reproach which I dread,
For Your judgments are good.
40 Behold, I long for Your precepts;
Revive me in Your righteousness.

Psalm 141:3-10
New King James Version
3 Set a guard, O Lord, over my (A)mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing,
To practice wicked works
With men who work iniquity;
(B)And do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 (C)Let the righteous strike me;
It shall be a kindness.
And let him rebuke me;
It shall be as excellent oil;
Let my head not refuse it.
For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.
6 Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the [a]cliff,
And they hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave,
As when one plows and breaks up the earth.
8 But (D)my eyes are upon You, O God the Lord;
In You I take refuge;
[b]Do not leave my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from (E)the snares they have laid for me,
And from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 (F)Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
While I escape safely.
