Your testimonies are my delight; they are my counselors.

Even though princes sit plotting against me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.

Take away from me scorn and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies.

You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones, who wander from your commandments.

My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times.

I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me!

Open my eyes, that I might behold wonderous things out of your law.

Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word.
