By guarding it according to your word.(A)
10 With my whole heart I seek you;
do not let me stray from your commandments.(B)
11 I treasure your word in my heart,
so that I may not sin against you.(C)
12 Blessed are you, O Lord;
teach me your statutes.(D)
13 With my lips I declare
all the ordinances of your mouth.(E)
14 I delight in the way of your decrees
as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on your precepts
and fix my eyes on your ways.(F)
16 I will delight in your statutes;
I will not forget your word.(G)
17 Deal bountifully with your servant,
so that I may live and observe your word.(H)
18 Open my eyes, so that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.
19 I live as an alien in the land;
do not hide your commandments from me.(I)
20 My soul is consumed with longing
for your ordinances at all times.(J)
21 You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones,
who wander from your commandments;(K)
22 take away from me their scorn and contempt,
for I have kept your decrees.(L)
23 Even though princes sit plotting against me,
your servant will meditate on your statutes.(M)
24 Your decrees are my delight;
they are my counselors.(N)
25 My soul clings to the dust;
revive me according to your word.(O)
26 When I told of my ways, you answered me;
teach me your statutes.(P)
27 Make me understand the way of your precepts,
and I will meditate on your wondrous works.(Q)
28 My soul melts away for sorrow;
strengthen me according to your word.(R)
29 Put false ways far from me,
and graciously teach me your law.
30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I set your ordinances before me.
31 I cling to your decrees, O Lord;
let me not be put to shame.(S)
32 I run the way of your commandments,
for you enlarge my understanding.(T)
