25My soul is laid low in the dust.
Revive me according to your word!
26I declared my ways, and you answered me.
Teach me your statutes.
27Let me understand the teaching of your precepts!
Then I will meditate on your wondrous works.
28My soul is weary with sorrow:
strengthen me according to your word.
29Keep me from the way of deceit.
Grant me your law graciously!
30I have chosen the way of truth.
I have set your ordinances before me.
31I cling to your statutes, Yahweh.
Don’t let me be disappointed.
32I run in the path of your commandments,
for you have set my heart free.
33Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes.
I will keep them to the end.
34Give me understanding, and I will keep your law.
Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart.
35Direct me in the path of your commandments,
for I delight in them.
36Turn my heart toward your statutes,
not toward selfish gain.
37Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things.
Revive me in your ways.
38Fulfill your promise to your servant,
that you may be feared.
39Take away my disgrace that I dread,
for your ordinances are good.
40Behold, I long for your precepts!
Revive me in your righteousness.
41Let your loving kindness also come to me, Yahweh,
your salvation, according to your word.
42So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me,
for I trust in your word.
43Don’t snatch the word of truth out of my mouth,
for I put my hope in your ordinances.
44So I will obey your law continually,
forever and ever.
45I will walk in liberty,
for I have sought your precepts.
46I will also speak of your statutes before kings,
and will not be disappointed.
47I will delight myself in your commandments,
because I love them.
48I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love.
I will meditate on your statutes.
