30 I have chosen(A) the way of faithfulness;(B)
    I have set my heart(C) on your laws.
31 I hold fast(D) to your statutes, Lord;
    do not let me be put to shame.
32 I run in the path of your commands,
    for you have broadened my understanding.

ה He

33 Teach me,(E) Lord, the way of your decrees,
    that I may follow it to the end.[a]
34 Give me understanding,(F) so that I may keep your law(G)
    and obey it with all my heart.(H)
35 Direct me(I) in the path of your commands,(J)
    for there I find delight.(K)
36 Turn my heart(L) toward your statutes
    and not toward selfish gain.(M)
37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
    preserve my life(N) according to your word.[b](O)
38 Fulfill your promise(P) to your servant,
    so that you may be feared.
39 Take away the disgrace(Q) I dread,
    for your laws are good.
40 How I long(R) for your precepts!
    In your righteousness preserve my life.(S)
