17 Deal kindly with Your servant, that I may liveand keep Your word.
18 Open my eyes, that I may beholdwondrous things from Your law.
19 I am a sojourner in the land;do not hide Your commandments fromme.
20 My soul is consumed all the timewith a longing for Your decrees.
21 You have rebuked the proud, those cursed,who depart from Your commandments.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt,for I have kept Your testimonies.
23 Even if princes sit and conspire against me,Your servant will meditate on Your statutes.
