Psalms 119:28-40

28My soul weeps with grief. Make me stand firm with Your word.

29Turn me away from the deceitful way, and be gracious to me with Your Torah.

30I have chosen the way of faithfulness. I have set my heart on Your judgments.

31I cling to Your testimonies. Adonai, do not put me to shame!

32I run the course of Your mitzvot, for You open wide my heart.

33Teach me the way of Your decrees, Adonai, and I will follow them to the end.

34Give me understanding, that I may keep Your Torah and observe it with all my heart.

35Help me walk in the path of Your mitzvot—for I delight in it.

36Turn my heart to Your testimonies and not to dishonest gain.

37Turn my eyes away from gazing at vanity but revive me in Your ways.

38Fulfill Your word to Your servant, which leads to reverence for You.

39Make the disgrace I dread pass away, for Your judgments are good.

40Behold, I long for Your precepts. Revive me by Your righteousness.
