33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, *

      and I shall keep it to the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; *

      I shall keep it with all my heart.

35 Make me go in the path of your commandments, *

     for that is my desire.

36 Incline my heart to your decrees *

     and not to unjust gain.

37 Turn my eyes from watching what is worthless; *

     give me life in your ways.

38 Fulfill your promise to your servant, *

     which you make to those who fear you.

39 Turn away the reproach which I dread, *

     because your judgments are good.

40 Behold, I long for your commandments; *
