Deal bountifully with Thy servant: quicken Thou me, and I shall keep Thy words. Open Thou mine eyes: and I shall see the wondrous things of Thy law. I am a sojourner upon earth: O hide not Thy commandments from me. My soul hath longed greatly: to desire Thine ordinances at all times. Thou hast rebuked the proud: cursed are they that do err from Thy commandments. O take from me shame and contempt: for I have sought after Thy testimonies. Princes also did sit and speak against me: but Thy servant was occupied in Thy statutes. For Thy testimonies are my meditation: and Thine ordinances are my counsel. My soul hath cleaved to the earth: O quicken Thou me according to Thy word. I have declared my ways, and Thou heardest me: teach me Thy statutes. Make me to understand the way of Thine ordinances: and I will meditate on Thy wondrous works. My soul hath slumbered through weariness: strengthen Thou me in Thy words. Remove from me the way of iniquity: and have mercy on me in Thy law. I have chosen the way of truth: I have not forgotten Thy judgments. I have cleaved unto Thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame. I have run in the way of Thy commandments: when Thou didst enlarge my heart.
