36. Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.
37. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.
38. Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared.
39. Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good.
40. How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life.
41. May your unfailing love come to me, Lord, your salvation, according to your promise;
42. then I can answer anyone who taunts me, for I trust in your word.
