Be good to your servant that I may live, * and keep your word.

>Open my eyes that I may see * the wonders of your law.

I am a stranger on earth; * don't hide your commandments from me.

My soul longs and yearns * at all times for your rules.

Rebuke the accursed presumptuous, * who have strayed from your commandments.

Strip me of reproach and scorn, * for I abide by your terms.

Though evil men sit and gossip about me, * your servant meditates on your rules.

Your covenant terms are my delight; * they are my counselors.
