17 Do good to me, your servant, so I can live,so I can obey your word.
18 Open my eyes to seethe miracles in your teachings.
19 I am a stranger on earth.Do not hide your commands from me.
20 I wear myself out with desirefor your laws all the time.
21 You scold proud people;those who ignore your commands are cursed.
22 Don’t let me be insulted and hatedbecause I keep your rules.
23 Even if princes speak against me,I, your servant, will think about your demands.
