8. Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly!
9. [Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe--according to Thy word.
10. With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.
11. In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.
12. Blessed [art] Thou, O Jehovah, teach me Thy statutes.
13. With my lips I have recounted All the judgments of Thy mouth.
14. In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all wealth.
15. In Thy precepts I meditate, And I behold attentively Thy paths.
16. In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.
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.
