36 Give me the desire to obey your lawsrather than to get rich.
37 Keep me from paying attention to what is worthless;be good to me, as you have promised.
38 Keep your promise to me, your servant —the promise you make to those who obey you.
39 Save me from the insults I fear;how wonderful are your judgements!
40 I want to obey your commands;give me new life, for you are righteous.
41 Show me how much you love me, Lord,and save me according to your promise.
42 Then I can answer those who insult mebecause I trust in your word.
