33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

33 Enséñame, oh Jehová, el camino de tus estatutos,

Y lo guardaré hasta el fin.

34 Dame entendimiento, y guardaré tu ley,

Y la cumpliré de todo corazón.

35 Guíame por la senda de tus mandamientos,

Porque en ella tengo mi voluntad.

36 Inclina mi corazón a tus testimonios,

Y no a la avaricia.

37 Aparta mis ojos, que no vean la vanidad;

Avívame en tu camino.

38 Confirma tu palabra a tu siervo,

Que te teme.

39 Quita de mí el oprobio que he temido,

Porque buenos son tus juicios.

40 He aquí yo he anhelado tus mandamientos;

Vivifícame en tu justicia.
