Psalms 119:17-24

17Do good to Your servant that I may live and keep Your word.

18Open my eyes, so I may behold wonders from Your Torah.

19I am a temporary dweller on earth— do not hide Your mitzvot from me.

20My soul is crushed with longing for Your judgments at all times.

21You rebuke the proud, who are cursed, who wander from Your mitzvot.

22Take scorn and contempt away from me, for I have kept Your testimonies.

23Though princes sit and talk against me, Your servant meditates on Your decrees.

24For Your testimonies are my delight— they are also my counselors.
