Defend my right and just cause; * do not leave me to my oppressors.

Assure your servant, O Goodness, * lest the arrogant oppress me.

My eyes long for your salvation, * and for your promise of justice.

Deal with your servant kindly, * and teach me your statutes.

I am your servant; give me insight, * that I may know your terms.

It's time to act, Yahweh! * They have broken your law.

Supreme Being, * I love your commandments * more than gold, however fine.

Supreme Being, * I consider all your precepts truly right; * I hate every false way.
