¹⁵⁴ Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.

⁸ And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.

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

⁷³ Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

¹⁶⁹ Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord: give me understanding according to thy word.
