17 Deal bountifully with Thy eved, that I may live, and be shomer over Thy Davar.
18 Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold nifla'ot out of Thy torah.
19 I am a ger on ha'aretz; hide not Thy mitzvot from me.
20 My nefesh is shattered with ta'avah for Thy mishpatim at all times.
21 Thou hast rebuked the zedim (arrogant ones) that are arurim (cursed ones), which do wander from Thy mitzvot.
22 Remove from me cherpah (reproach) and contempt; for I have kept Thy edot (testimonies).
23 Though sarim (princes) also sit and speak slander against me, yet Thy eved meditates on Thy chukkot.
