​¹⁷Deal bountifully with your servant,
so that I may live and observe your word.
¹⁸Open my eyes, so that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.
¹⁹I live as an alien in the land;
do not hide your commandments from me.
²⁰My soul is consumed with longing
for your ordinances at all times.
²¹You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones,
who wander from your commandments;
²²take away from me their scorn and contempt,
for I have kept your decrees.
²³Even though princes sit plotting against me,
your servant will meditate on your statutes.
²⁴Your decrees are my delight,
they are my counselors.
