26. I have declared my ways, and thou didst hear me; teach me thy statutes.
27. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts; so I shall meditate of thy wondrous works.
28. My soul melts for heaviness; strengthen me according to thy word.
29. Remove from me the way of lying, and from thy law grant me mercy.
30. I have chosen the way of truth; I have laid thy judgments before me.
31. I have stuck unto thy testimonies; O Lord, put me not to shame.
32. I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
33. HE. 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 my eyes from beholding vanity, and cause me to live in thy way.
38. Confirm thy word unto thy slave, who is devoted to thy fear.
39. Turn away my reproach which I have feared, for thy judgments are good.
40. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts; cause me to live in thy righteousness.
41. VAU. Let thy mercy come unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy spoken word.
42. And I shall answer him that reproaches me, by saying that I trust in thy word.
43. And take not at any time the word of truth out of my mouth; for I wait for thy judgment.
44. So shall I keep thy law continually from age to age.
