Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of Thy statutes;
And I shall keep it unto the end.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep Thy law;
Yea, I will observe it with my whole heart.
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever;
The ordinances of Jehovah are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is Thy servant warned;
In keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors?
Clear Thou me from hidden faults.
Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me;
Then shall I be upright,
And I shall be clear from the great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight,
O Jehovah, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
