34 Give me understanding, so that I may keep your lawand obey it with all my heart.
35 Direct me in the path of your commands,for there I find delight.
36 Turn my heart towards your statutesand not towards selfish gain.
37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;preserve my life according to your word.
38 Fulfil your promise to your servant,so that you may be feared.
39 Take away the disgrace I dread,for your laws are good.
40 How I long for your precepts!In your righteousness preserve my life.
