24. Your laws please me;they give me wise advice.
25. I lie in the dust;revive me by your word.
26. I told you my plans, and you answered.Now teach me your decrees.
27. Help me understand the meaning of your commandments,and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds.
28. I weep with sorrow;encourage me by your word.
29. Keep me from lying to myself;give me the privilege of knowing your instructions.
30. I have chosen to be faithful;I have determined to live by your regulations.
31. I cling to your laws.lord, don’t let me be put to shame!
32. I will pursue your commands,for you expand my understanding.
33. Teach me your decrees, O lord;I will keep them to the end.
34. Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions;I will put them into practice with all my heart.
