 33  Teach me, O Lord, the perfect way
        of thy precepts divine,
     And to observe it to the end
        I shall my heart incline.
 34  Give understanding unto me,
        so keep thy law shall I;
     Yea, ev'n with my whole heart I shall
        observe it carefully.

 35  In thy law's path make me to go;
        for I delight therein.
 36  My heart unto thy testimonies,
        and not to greed, incline.
 37  Turn thou away my sight and eyes
        from viewing vanity;
     And in thy good and holy way
        be pleased to quicken me.

 38  Confirm to me thy gracious word,
        which I did gladly hear,
     Ev'n to thy servant, Lord, who is
        devoted to thy fear.
 39  Turn thou away my feared reproach;
        for good thy judgments be.
 40  Lo, for thy precepts I have longed;
        in thy truth quicken me.
