17. [Gimel.] Confer benefits on Thy servant, I live, and I keep Thy word.
18. Uncover mine eyes, and I behold wonders out of Thy law.
19. A sojourner I [am] on earth, Hide not from me Thy commands.
20. Broken hath my soul for desire Unto Thy judgments at all times.
21. Thou hast rebuked the cursed proud, Who are erring from Thy commands.
22. Remove from me reproach and contempt, For Thy testimonies I have kept.
23. Princes also sat--against me they spoke, Thy servant doth meditate in Thy statutes,
24. Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, The men of my counsel!
25. [Daleth.] Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.
26. My ways I have recounted, And Thou answerest me, teach me Thy statutes,
27. The way of Thy precepts cause me to understand, And I meditate in Thy wonders.
28. My soul hath dropped from affliction, Establish me according to Thy word.
