v.33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall observe it to the end. v.34 Give me understanding, that I may observe Your law and keep it with all my heart. v.35 Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it. v.36 Incline my heart to Your testimonies and not to dishonest gain. v.37 Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity, and revive me in Your ways. v.38 Establish Your word to Your servant, as that which produces reverence for You. v.39 Turn away my reproach which I dread, for Your ordinances are good. v.40 Behold, I long for Your precepts; revive me through Your righteousness. (NAS version)
