⁶⁶ Teach me ^(A)good judgment and knowledge,
    for I believe in your commandments.

2 ^(A)My son, ^(B)if you receive my words
    and treasure up my commandments with you,
² making your ear attentive to wisdom
    and inclining your heart to understanding;
³ yes, if you call out for insight
    and raise your voice ^(C)for understanding,
⁴ if you seek it like ^(D)silver
    and search for it as for ^(E)hidden treasures,
⁵ then ^(F)you will understand the fear of the Lord
    and find the knowledge of God.
⁶ For ^(G)the Lord gives wisdom;
    from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
⁷ he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
    he is ^(H)a shield to those who ^(I)walk in integrity,
⁸ guarding the paths of justice
    and ^(J)watching over the way of his ^(K)saints.
^9 (L)Then you will understand ^(M)righteousness and justice
    and equity, every good path;

¹²⁸ Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right;
    I hate every ^(A)false way.

² And ^(A)the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
    the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and might,
    the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
³ And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
^(B)He shall not judge by ^(C)what his eyes see,
    or decide disputes by ^(D)what his ears hear,
⁴ but ^(E)with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
    and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall ^(F)strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and ^(G)with the breath of his lips ^(H)he shall kill the wicked.

^34 (A)Give me understanding, that I may keep your law
    and observe it with my whole heart.
