17 Deal bountifully with thy servant,
    that I may live and observe thy word.
18 Open my eyes, that I may behold
    wondrous things out of thy law.
19 I am a sojourner on earth;
    hide not thy commandments from me!
20 My soul is consumed with longing
    for thy ordinances at all times.
21 Thou dost rebuke the insolent, accursed ones,
    who wander from thy commandments;
22 take away from me their scorn and contempt,
    for I have kept thy testimonies.
23 Even though princes sit plotting against me,
    thy servant will meditate on thy statutes.
24 Thy testimonies are my delight,
    they are my counselors.
