O be bountiful to your servant that I may live :
 in obedience to your word.
Take away the veil from my eyes :
 that I may see the wonders of your law.
I am but a stranger on the earth :
 do not hide your commandments from me.
My soul is consumed with longing :
 for your judgements day and night.
You have rebuked the proud :
 and cursed are those who stray from your commandments;
Turn away from me their reproach and scorn :
 for I have kept your commands.
Though princes sit and plot together against me :
 your servant shall meditate on your statutes;
For your commands are my delight :
 and they are counsellors in my defence.
I am humbled to the dust :
 O give me life according to your word.
If I examine my ways :
 surely you will answer me O teach me your statutes!
Make me to understand the way of your precepts :
 and I shall meditate on your marvellous works.
My soul pines away for sorrow :
 O raise me up according to your word.
Keep me far from the way of deception :
 and grant me the grace of your law.
I have chosen the way of truth :
 and have set your judgements before me.
I hold fast to your commands :
 O Lord, let me never be confounded.
Let me run the way of your commandments :
 for you will liberate my heart.
Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes :
 and I will honour it to the end.
Give me understanding, that I may keep your law :
 that I may keep it with my whole heart.
Guide me in the path of your commandments :
 for therein is my delight.
Incline my heart to your commands :
 and not to selfish gain.
Turn away my eyes from looking on vanities :
 as I walk in your way give me life.
Make good your promise to your servant :
 the promise that endures for all who fear you.
Turn aside the taunts that I dread :
 for your judgements are very good.
Lord, I long for your precepts :
 in your righteousness give me life.
